Default Dumb question about seat screw

I just bought a lepera bare bones for my 07 Night train. Trying to move the seat screw (bottom one that the actual thumb screw goes in to) from the back hole to the front one and it won't fit through the hole in the fender at the front. What am i doing wrong here?

Edit - Made sure the little "tab" was lined up as well.

I have a Danny Gray which breaks down to a solo seat & the nut with tab that fits under the fender works the same as it does in the rear hole. Both holes have a notch for the tab. This is on my 09 Night Train but I can't say if your 07 is the same.

OK, long shot, as not having seen the bike ...

Might it be that the hole in the fender is a tad too small due to a bit of excess paint?

Had that on mine when it came back from the painters.

Running a bit of rolled up fine grit sanding paper through it sorted it for me.
