Hi Pat, I highly recommend to have a mechanic check the alignment of the part and the car. To check the fitment please use our Vehicle Selector — which can be found towards the top of the homepage as well as all categories, search results, and product pages — can help verify if a part will fit your specific application. To enter your application, simply select your vehicle’s year, make, model, sub-model, and engine type and click “Go.” Once your application is selected, you’ll see a “Guaranteed to Fit” badge if the part will fit, and we recommend that you also double-check Your Vehicle Fit Details as well as the Vehicle Fitment Information table on the product page.

As Aldrin P. stated, make sure that you have the correct part. If so, and I am not an expert, but when I installed the bracket on my wife's 2013 Hatchback, I found it difficult to align properly. But, to my recollection, there is a bit of play in the alignment, and it simply took me a few adjustments to get it right.
