I didn't have that problem. I did need to enlarge one of the bolt holes for fitment, but that was it.

Just bend the lip outward a bit so that the pan fits. Your pan might be a bit distorted if it has a lot of miles on it.

I had this problem, the brace needed to be machined a bit

anyway, so far so good...no leaks!
