Hey!

Just got a set of brand new NRG hood dampers, and started installing them this week. I got to the step in their instructions where you have to bolt the bracket to the top bolt of the hood hinge. The bracket looks just like the one on their website pic. It's tiny square, with a ball stud sticking out, and the two are clearly marked "L" or "R". There's a U-channel carved out on one side of the bracket, and it appears that it's supposed to go around the top of the hood hinges.

BUT....
it dosen't fit. The u-channel dosen't match the shape of the rounded corner of my hood hinge!

What am I doing wrong? Anybody else have this exact kit, or the stainless HD-600 kit, and can help me out or post some pics?

Oh, my car's a 91 RPS13 180sx. Thanks!
