66 repop chrome grill install issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was able to get the buckets installed into the grill with a few small modifications to the grill tabs, ready to bolt it on the truck/grill support...but now...the problem is the two inside mounting pads are in contact with the stock grill support but the two outside bolt holes on both sides have about 1/2" of space between the grill mounting pads and the grill support. The holes look to be lined up but the pads are not on the mounting surface...when adding some pressure by hand, it doesnt really move....Thoughts?
