Check your bolt sizes rather than just assuming. About a month ago I got the finish kit. Three of the bolt bags had many incorrect bolts - generally short by 1/4 inch. Bags 2765, 2766-1, and 2767-1. It is as if they were stocked by measuring the overall bolt length rather than just the shank length. Things like AN3-12As specified but AN3-10As packed. A total of 53 bolts were wrong.
I sent the replacement list to Van's and they promptly sent the replacements - but those were mostly incorrect in the same way! So I just sent off another list. This time 34 bolts were wrong of the replacement 53. I triple-checked my measurements.
So, check yours out. This was surprising to me as all other kits were almost perfect in the inventory.
