Here is the passenger side sitting where it should
And this is the drivers side

Paul, From What I have found the problem is the angle of the forward supports (the last picture). I have cut and re-welded this section after the sides are flush. And it does help having up pressure instead of side pressure from the clamps. Drill then loosely bolt one hole and at a time this will help get all the holes to align. Do all the horizontal ones first then do the sides.
Another thing I have been doing is feeding a bolt into the frame and using a nut on the outside instead of the self tapping screws supplied. I have had customers strip them out checking for tightness. Works much better.
