you install the lower on first then the adjusting bolt after words you also might have the block flipped around on the adjusting side.

I just pulled the new alternator back off the vehicle. i measured it from top bolt hole to bottom hole. it is about 1/2 in shorter. I dont know why the online description said that it fits this year but it clearly is too short.

Rockauto calls out a different part number between non-turbo and turbo. Possibly got the 'other' one.
