Question Progressive Link Install,,, I @#$@#ed up-HELP

I attempted to install the progressive link stabilzer and my bike moved, I am not sure if I screwed up something.

I can get my finger between my rear tire and the stock fender on the right side where I attempted to intall the stabilizer. Also are the screws supposed to go all the way in flush.

Do I need to re-align my bike,,,

Can someone call me for a few mins to assist me.

Thanks

713-628-8960/// once I have corrected the issue I will remove the post..

Damn its 2:30 in the morning....Houston, Tx ,,,, If you are local I will pay for the assistance..

You can now NOT get a finger between the tire and fender? Thats about normal. It's that way stock.
The "Link" should not be moving your rear tire around. You only took off the right axle cover end cap thing and removed three bolts from the oil pan right?
In no way is that going to mess up the tire to frame to fender spacing. That is unless you needed a crow bar to connect the link to the oil pan and frame.

What he said. I don't see how anything could've 'moved' the bike. See attached picture. You only removed the 3 transmission bolts, correct??
