Default Rod bolts hitting windage tray

Alright, I installed the windage tray today and the rod bolts are hitting on the windage tray when trying to turn it over by hand.

The motor is on a stand, I am just about to start installing the cam and timing set but wanted to put the windage tray on first.

Specs: 4" stroke, Compstar 6.125" rods, stock windage tray.

Any ideas, or do I need to beat the windage tray a little to clearance it?
