Are you sure the top of the cowl is not dented causing the front of the PB hinge pocket to lean away from the front of the firewall?
I havent heard of anyone having trouble installing these before now.
I know mine went in SUPER easy.

Also,... before I would cut the PB hinge pocket apart, I would shim under the bottom to make it fit the front of the firewall.
