Default Whisper Lid/85mmPaceMAF/Smooth Bellows Fit Issue!!

I have the Whisper Airlid, an 85mm Pace MAF and Smooth bellows, and when installed i can't get the lid to seat. It is pushed too far forward and i cant even force it into place. What should i do? trim the smooth bellow?

Check the fit between the MAF and the lid. I had a hard time getting mine on all the way and that caused my fitment issue. I eventually used a hair dryer to heat and expand the lid and it slipped on all the way with a little bit of force.

^^+1 on checking the fitment of the MAF to the lid, it was like that on my 99 Z28.
