Default Chrome SE solo seat fitment ???

I posted earlier about this seat. Well, I got it finally. Here's the thing...It's supposed to fit my bike ('05 Fatboy) but it's just a touch off. The tail section doesn't line up. The hole for the screw is about a half inch further back than the hole in the fender. Has anyone had experience with these? It's not a tough fix but want to get other's input before making mods to something that shouldn't need it. Thanks, in advance.

Update: Looking at it again, I'm thinking there must be a difference not mentioned in the catalog. Even though it says it fits my bike, I think there might be subtle changes in the SE Fatboy. My main concern is the Fender struts. Does the SE come with a wider tire? This seat sticks out where it should follow the line of the fender strut. Might just have to return it.

The SE 06 has the wider tire than the SE 05.
