Hi Kemizz - mine was a pre-production one admittedly... I'd suggest what enduro374 says - if you are sure the brackets are lined up correctly, then I found sticking the tip of a jemmy bar between the bashplate and the engine case and GENTLY levering it outwards should give you a few more mm of clearance...

As I recall, the spacers for the front mounting bracket are handed left and right (the are a few mm different), so do check you've got these round the right way...

Jx
