Default The fit of Stainless steel bumpers for early P1800

How well have people been able to get the fit of the early cow horn style bumpers?
My front set seem to fit well.
But at the rear the three pieces do not line up well. The centre section sits back out of line with the end pieces.
The "cut outs" don't look to have been made to the right depth and shape.
Have others had issues?
Is there a good resolution?

Maybe you could post some photos, I've done several dry fit of mine and both front and rear / left and right ends fit fine. My issue was the centre embellishments being strangely curved up on the ends, particularly the front one.

Years of driving and likely previous owners bumping into things(at least that's what some people think they are for drive like it) messed up the support bar symmetry so I spent quite a bit of time first truing them, making and re-welding some missing weld-nuts and wire brushing and painting them.

After contacting the manufacture they gave me a $120 refund to have them adjusted locally.

I also have put a strip of bumper trim on the outer pieces per the parts book, image attached.
