These bumps don't fit any of the holes in the ca-fi, so even when I mount them in what I think is the correct position, they will stay 2-3 mm away from the head unit, which is enough to prevent me from screwing them into the dashboard. Will post pictures later tonight (4:44 pm now in Germany).

Yep, if those alignment nubs aren't fitting into any holes, you don't have it aligned right. You
will not be able to get those nubs into their proper holes unless you file down, cut off, or bend out the bit of bracket closest to the face of the unit.
To borrow some pics from earlier in this very thread...

Correct:
Note the flanges at the top and bottom of the bracket on the right side of the image have been filed down in the second pic so the bracket itself can sit closer to the front of the unit. Bending them out away from the body would also work.
Your brackets may look a bit different from this (mine do), but you'll have to do effectively the same thing in order to get it to sit in the proper position.
