Default Almost done replacing opti... BUT...

I took these pictures, sorry for the poor quality but its dark and it was on my phone. Anyway, i have my new opti on with the pin lined up and it slid on fine. the problen is that the bolt holes for the opti are still about a 16th or an inch or so away from bolting up perfectly. is this normal, should i just bolt it up and it'll be fine or should i keep messing with it???

You probably didn't put it in the right hole, so to speak Take it out and make SURE it's on right.
