I am going to look at it a bit closer to see if I can persuade the runnng boards to conform since this is my first time dry fit of the sheetmetal.
I remember when I installed mine that my holes didn't line up real well either. I used a center punch to help align the holes and after I got a bolt in each one I slowly started to tighten each bolt a little at a time to conform the fender to the running board. I also didn't use fender welt and mine turned out fine.
