If it's like the M50, it's tough to get them bolts in. Sometimes you've got to get someone to sit on the fender while you do it. Sometimes taking the front seat off and pushing down and in on the part of the rear fender that is normally covered by the front seat helps, especially with the front bolts of the supports. It's like it's just a tad out of alignment. If you get one in, leave it a little loose so you have some fender play while working on the other bolt. Then tighten them both. Whatever you do that works, remember it for next time.

Yep, they can be a bugger. I had to lift, pull, push my fender to get them started. Not a chore I would want to do everyday.

I had a hard time with the saddle bag mounts. Then I made some custom mounts and then I really appreciated what the letters PIA meant!

Not sure what you did, but only take one bolt out at a time if at all possible.
