Koyo radiator

I just bought a radiator from a member on here. It is a Koyo and when I go put it in it wont sit evenly on the bottom and the brackets on the upper part of the radiator don't reach the bolts. Do i have to modify the condenser or is there something else I need to do?

been a long time so I dont remember exactly
undo all the condenser brackets, just support it with something while you install the radiator
you may also have to remove the intercooler and duct I forgot
anyway, the radiator should sit on the bottom and be sure to take your moutning brackets at the top corners of your OEM radiator and move the to the koyo
they look like little hooks

I didnt have anything else there. I have removed everything, but the condenser. I will try to take it out tomorrow and check the fitment again. Everything looks fine, but when i put it in it doesnt sit even on the brakets.

The Koyos are way thicker then stock, while installing mine, I had to bend back the 'tabs' on lower mounting points, so the rubber shoes fit in... For the top, the factory L brackets need to switch sides so it fits..

I thought I was doing something wrong and didnt want to force it. I did bend the bottom brackets so I will switch sides on the L brackets and see what happens.

Thank you guys for the help.
