The middle 2 bed cross members are directional meaning they have to follow the angle of the frame. Do you even have the 2 bed cross members installed?

what about the rear crossmember? Does the angle part of yours bolt to the member or rivet? If it's a bolt on is it upside down? I know these seem like redundant questions but I am trying to help.
the angle should be in the middle of the member not at the top
pics of the rear bed cross member would be helpful

Can we get some better pictures of your overall project? I can't help feeling like we're not getting a full view of what's going on. In this pic there's a little glimpse of some custom work going on, and perhaps something you did changed the shape or location of some of the mounting points. Or perhaps there is some reason why your frame rails aren't in their correct shape. Or maybe you have something going together incorrectly that you're unaware of.
