smittybilt m1 grille

so im trying to install the grille on my 14 f150 and the grille is not aligning right with my original. if i move it one way or another it may get bolt bound where the studs screw into the M1 grille. i have the center section of the factory cut out and if the grill is not bolt bound on the studs when i try to cinch it down the nuts that hold the chrome accents on get in the way on 1 side or the other. i have reamed out a few locations where the accent nuts are bottoming out but still no luck. i know this grille shoyuld not be complicated by any means but im really not trying to hack up the factory grille as much as possible. anybody else run into this issue?
