Default Need Help with 06 deluxe docking hardware

Hi,
I have an 06 deluxe with the rigid leather bags(53061-00a).
i was installing the read back rest docking hardware today. very simple and straight forward! however the left side is giving me trouble. the bar that supports the saddle bag wont line up. i have removed it from the bottom of the bag. installed the docking hardware. now the bag is too far out. has anyone had any trouble installing the docking hardware on a deluxe?

Figured it out! such a dumb ***! there was another set of mounting holes in the bottom of the bag.

One thing I've always said is that every MoCo part I've bought for my bike has fit perfect and works like it should and lasts.

Only thing I've found is the directions are sometimes not clear or easy to understand.
