Is the unit sitting too far forward, and preventing the trim panel from sitting flush? If so, you're using the wrong mounting holes. You'll need to file down or bend away the lobe of each bracket closest to the front face of the unit so the bracket can reach the correct set of mounting holes. I just bent mine out, rather than trying to file them down.
