Alright, what'd I do wrong here...

Installing a new Mishimoto Radiator, with the updated orange bushings and rubber upper mounts. The mounts are sitting on the OEM Support Brackets (Black, hard plastic pieces) and seem to be well-seated.

My issue is that the passenger side of the radiator is sitting about 1" - 1.5" high, thus disallowing me from attaching the upper 'C-Shaped' mounting bracket.

I tried mounting those first and when tightening down the Upper Support Bar (also Mishimoto) it began to bend the rubber mount that sticks out of the top of the radiator. I tried tightening it all down prior to attaching the 'C-Shaped' Brackets, No Dice. The Upper Mount is level.

Trim your orange bushing to get it closer to level on that side. It sucks to have to do that but mishimotos QC has been declining in the last few years IMO.
