Default Lower Fairing Speaker Install?

I have the HD lower fairing speaker pods and It seems that I will not be able to re-use my original quick detach hardware for my lower fairings anymore as the head of the bolt is to large to fit in the upper mounting hole in the pod? Has anyone else with this upgrade had the same problem?

Hmmm? I know the hardware will work for the bottom hole in the pod itself and the lower foot area but the upper pod hole has a tapered chamfer that gets narrower toward the back of the pod and the slotted head of the mount bolt is to large to go all the way in?
