Had a similar problem on mine, swore a bit, drilled the hole out then realised i was being a mong
take the coach bolt out
assemble the bracket ( really need three hands)
then fit the bolt
if you try and fit the coach bolt to the square hole first it wont align :ok

Thanks for the reply, it's not the problem of the bolt aligning it that the bracket don't seem to fit even without the bolt it's as though the gutters not deep enough

Its not likely the bracket is wrong or your van is non standard

Tilt the small part in towards the main bit at the top, as i said i struggeled but keep fiddling and it will fit im sure, its designed to be a tight/complex fit

It looks like this to me:
Put the small piece in position, large piece on next to it then slide one or the other into place. Needs to be done this way because the bracket is bent at less than 90 degrees.
That's my take on it.
