Bearclaw latch issue

Hey everyone,
I have a 1949 F1 and purchased the Bearclaw latches, but they are a pain to get to function right. I followed all the instructions and when bolted into place the door handle scratches my door panel as I push the handle down.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

No problem with the installation but sure I’m having problems trying to figure out how to hook up some electric door locks to it. My handles have about a quarter inch to three eights of an inch space between the end and the door panel . Are you sure the bear claw is in twisted in there somehow.
