Installing RRM rear strut brace, help!

Just got my RRM rear strut brace. I start to put it in and realize that i can get one side in but not the other. When you put the brace over the studs, one side doesn't line up properly to be able to start tightening the nut.

What should I do? I am very dissappointed.

nevermind, figured it out.

One side doesn't line up right, so I flipped the bar over to see if that would help.

Now the other side is a little off. I had to hold the bar up with my hand, don't let the bar sit all the way down on the studs, and then tighten enough to get started on both sides. The one side is a snug fit for the socket.

Then once you have it started tighten each side a little bit going back and forth until its done.
