Default Big Sucker install

Anybody had this issue, trying to install big sucker on 07 streetglide the three mounting screws that attach the mounting plate to throttle body line up but the two breather bolts that attach to head do not align. I can have the throttle body or breather bolts but not both. It appears I have the right part number. Thanks for any advice, even if it doesn't help.

Leave everything loose until you get them all started, then tighten them down starting at the head bolts then do the throttle body screws.

I've installed a couple of these on '07 bikes with no problems at all.

Exactly what MUC said. If you ever remove your intake flangles you have to do the same thing.
