Thank you for documenting all that.

In the factory those moldings are installed in no less that three different areas of the plant (cab trim, bed trim, front end sheetmetal area).

Fenders are installed to the vehicle after body drop, and then doors are fit (typically using hammers and big pieces of lumber to pry).

It's kind of amazing anything remotely lines up after all that, so you are going to have way better fitment than what it came with originally.
