Grille Installation 1965?

Hey guys need some good advice. I removed both front fenders off
of my 1965 sb 352 3 on the tree and replaced the radiator support.
I have put everything back together except the front grille and the
grille doesn't fit completely flush inside the front fenders like it did
before. Any ideas what I need to look at to make it fit better inside
the fenders? Thanks for your help

Loosen the fenders for maximum adjustment.

Install grill and adjust/tighten fenders to fit grill.

Thanks Again
In addition: Seem to recall installing lower pan, grille, and upper valance as an entire unit worked best for me.
