Well guys, I ordered mine and waited 4 weeks while on back order. When they finally came in on July 18th, they were well packed, bubble wrapped, etc. On installation day, this is what I found right out of the box on the right side bar. I contacted Hogworks immediately, they apologized and are sending me out a new replacement. Nonetheless, they are back on back-order so I'm hoping to receive it in the October shipment.
Often times, when there is high demand on out of stock parts, they rush to expedite the orders and quality control falls to the way side and gets overlooked. Unfortunately, this happens to be the case. I'm very confident they will stand behind their product and make good on it.

OP: Did you remove the oem spacers under the seat bolts? If not that could be why it is pushing the seat from underneath.

My Chinesium saddle bag crash bars from Amazon had instructions to remove the spacers to install the crash bars. This was on my 2020 Road Glide, but I gotta think they are the same or very close to the 2024s.

Oops, I didn't mean seat bolts. The oem bolts that hold where baggage guards go had a black spacer on each side on my bike. Removed the bolt and spacer, mounted the guard and then used the bolts that came with the guards.

No spacers under the 2024 seats.
