AAR/Stinger Fender Fitment Issue

I was fitting up my body panels from AAR and noticed the passenger side fender has about a 1/2 inch gap from the headlight bucket/flange to the core support. I spoke with the production manager at AAR/Stinger and he said he they have been running this tool for ~20 years and hasn’t heard of this issue, but I could put some tension on it with a bolt then heat it and slowly pull it into position. The best I can tell nothing is bent; I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this issue and what solutions they found?
