I didn't have any problems installing them. Any change you mixed them up or changed left and right?

I was having the same problem, thinking wait a minute, Vans really screwed these up, then read the plans again and found they LOOK alike but are different. I matched them with the plans drawing, and marked each with the correct number, and placed them where they belonged, it went together like clockwork, as per the usual vans precision cut and fit process.
 
I found the problem

I put the angle along the floorboard on the wrong side which made the angle down instead of up & even though I could get all the F1275's on but a little off on the fit. The F1275F would almost fit which kept me confused. My fault for not paying closer to the plans.

Stan,

Every time I reached a point where I was doing excessive head scratching I found it helpful to go do something else and come back to it the next day. Amazing how the light bulbs turn on with a fresh perspective!

How true! I have had many of those breaks to clear my head. The little wheels in my head get to spinning and smoke comes out of my ears, time for a break.
