This is where your engineering mind can hurt you. It happens to me all the time. Most guys would just bang it together an never have a problem. We think of every worst case scenario known to man.
This isn't the Navy and 90% of my car required clearancing this, tweaking that, etc.... The real defiinition of pro touring should be the mesh of a pile of bastard parts. If you can nudge it on, you don't have a problem, yet.
If almost everything you do falls together even half the time, I'm selling everything I own and come work for you for free. I have three different size dead-blows I sleep with at night......... wait......... nevermind. I think that came out wrong.

My buddy is an engineer and races a dirt track car... You want to see a man go crazy working on something LOL
Here is his one of his comments when I tell him to use the "persuader"
"It's piss-poor car engineering that causes car guys to use big-ol-****ing-hammers. If you let areospace engineers design a car, they'd fit together as designed but cost as much as a space shuttle".

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
Coming from a construction back ground I have used my framing hammer and my single jack many many times. And I dont leave to a track event without them.

As long as you don't use nails for cotter pins, We're good

Thats what happens when Engineers start mixing with grease monkeys....have you seen the guys that work and build these for a living??? LOL I kid. Im an ex heavy duty flat rate mech, I can make fun of us.....however back to your issue.
Who installed the studs in the case? If they are crooked or misaligned you will have problems droping in. I always recheck the studs for square before I drop in the chunk. just sayin. p
