Default Windshield 2001 Road King Classic

I just bought a HD replacement quick release windshield for my 01 RK. I noticed that when mounting it, the left side didn't slide on as smoothly as the other side, it kind of pops back a little, is there a way to adjust the hardware to make it fit better

any help is appreciated

Loosen off the acorn nuts a bit, install the shield and tighten things up. It may help get things lined up again.
