Default Heritage Classic Fender Trim

This may sound stupid, but here goes...I put a luggage rack on my 2011 Heritage Softail Classic. Had to take off sissy bar and mount, which includes trim along rear fender. Now the front bolt (that also serves to mount saddle bag) will not screw back into the same hole (nut) on the fender from which I removed it. The bolt and the nut are not stripped or dirty. The same bolt fits into the other 3 nuts, but none of the other 3 bolts will fit into the front, right fender hole/nut. Any ideas?

Sometimes the nut moves. If I remember correctly I had to use something to lone them up when I added the trim to mine
