I had no trouble putting mine on but it was about five years ago. If I remember correctly my seals were so thin and soft that they wouldn't have caused any trouble getting the fender in place. I wonder if you got the wrong seals. You said you had fitted the fender so I didn't respond sooner but will throw this out since you are having the problem. The fender braces hit the cab in some cases. I've read that the assembly guys had hammers to correct this by whacking the offending spot. This is what I'm referring to. My truck didn't need the hammer "adjustment" but it looks like the fender did touch here.
