Default Memphis Shields Mounting Instructions

Anyone else have difficulties installing the Memphis shades shield?
Just took off the HD 7” Wind splitter windshield to replace it with the 8.5 Memphis shades one. I can’t seem to push/fit the slotted holes of the shield on the circular threaded bosses. I don’t want to put too much pressure on it and crack the shield. Is it supoose to me a super tight fit? Is there a trick to installing these? Didn’t have any issues with the stock or HD shield. TIA

I just ordered a 6.5 Memphis Shades shield and noticed that they make multiple models for batwings. I almost ordered the wrong one. They have a pre-2014, a 2014-2015, and some that only fit their own batwing fairings. Is it possible you got one of those? Just a possibility....

Yea I'm wondering if you got a pre '14 shield and are trying to put it on a '14, the '14 models have a wider space between the two outside mounting holes.
