Bear claw install???

Ok, I got the large bear claw's installed in the 48 doors. It looks like this

I'm still trying to figure out how to make that jamb plate look good or at least better. So while thinking about that I decided to try the new window channel with the installed Bear Claw latch.
This picture shows the channel NOT sitting firmly against the outside edge of the door.

Looks like it is out about 3/8"

It is hitting latch at the opening in the window channel

At that rectangular hole.

Is this a problem? If so, has anyone else had this problem and figured out a solution?

I will call Trique Mfg tomorrow to discuss with them, maybe they have an idea of what to do.
