Default Magpul hand guards

Hey all, been a whole since I posted anything or even signed on. So a little catching up, went on deployment and came home for my soon to be fiancé (I hope)birthday and bought myself (ans her but mostly myself) a rock river arms AR-15. I bought a set of magpul hand guards to replace the A2 style hand guards it came with. I had my girlfriend and her dad (22+ years USAF) install them and when it came time to mount the rail sections, they couldn't get the rail to go into the 2o'clock position saying that the metal would have to be bent behind the plastic. I am not home right now and the rifle is with them or it would be on.

Anyone have the magpul hand guards and installed the rail sections? If so how did you do it?

If the rail is Magpul also, all there is to install it is to remove the hand guard and bolt it on with the provided bolts and flat nuts. I installed one in my M&P 15's Magpul grips. It was very simple, and very secure. There was no bending of any metal, just bolt it on.

One end of the rail wil have greater distance between screw hole and end. Put that end forward if you want the rail as far. Forward as possible and then follow 45 thumper's instructions.
