I pulled (Read: Bent) the inner edge of the fender support outwards along the edge since I didn't want to just pull the cowl sheet metal in towards the support and bend/ warp it. I got most of it to pull close enough to get spot welds on it with the exception of one that ended up with about a 1/4" gap between the fender bolt hole.
Not sure if that was the right way or not, the advice I got was, "Pull it til it fits," so if you have another way of doing it, I am all ears!
