I did a dry run yesterday to see how everything would go. If you measure from the very tip of the rail, to the mounting arm, there is a .75" difference in length from 14.5" to 15.25". I couldn't tell, without measuring.
The instructions do mention that you may need to push the mounting plate into place and would be quite snug. You could use a jack or hammer, to tap into place. I am definitely going to need to tap it into place. Mine is quite snug but I expected it should based on it's function.
As for the bend in the mounting plate, mine are also angled/bent. I was assuming this may have happened during shipping because I do not see any reason for this. They are pretty damn heavy and you just don't know if someone dropped them. I expect I can work around this however.
It's a dark rainy day here, in Vancouver and the only plans are to mount the rails.
The sticker looks easy to install though.
