Default motherwell MWL134 rack

Hi,
I ordered and received one of these over hear in the uk from a great mail order outfit in Edinburgh, Scotland.

On attempting to fit I have a minor issue with the Fatboys rear seat tag, its one of the spring loaded securing bolts.

I cant fit the rack ontop of the seat tag and below the bolt head as the bolt is
1. sprung loaded
2. the bolt guide is pressed into the seat tag.

Im not equipped to attempt removing it without resorting to brute force...and fitting it below the seat tag means the recessed tag on the seat bracket wont fit snugly onto nut on the fender properly; the seat feels like it will move and potentially mark the fender(apart from the fact that the bolt is too short.

I wondered if/how any of you guys dealt with this issue.

Are there other seat tags available??????

Thanks for any advice!!
