Unhappy install Q? net nuts!!

New to Harleys and motorcycles... hope someone out there can help me with this one.
Okay so I wanted to a cargo net to my '06 Sporty 1200L. I bought the net nuts and the cargo net... the guy at the parts department at Harley said to turn the screws inside out in order to attach these net nuts... But the wheel is to close to the inside of the rear fender and I can' t quite insert the original bolt in backwards becuase the tire is in the way. Is there an easy answer to this dilemma? Can I lift the bike somehow in order to get clearance to insert these bolts, is there a right and wrong way to do this???

If you don't get clearance by jacking the bike up, remove the lower shock bolts and jack up till you do.
