MuttonChops is right. I believe you are supposed to just snug it up, and then force it right and left to get the pop, then with it centered, tighten it down.

If you marred the attachment point, the wedges may be clamping onto a burr or imperfection, then at the most in-opportune time it can find, the wedges slip into another position, trying to make you look bad. (and quite possibly succeeding!?)

I agree, check the aluminum mounting surface that the wedges clamp onto to be sure they are free of burrs and scars (sand them smooth if necessary, but try to keep the shape proper) then read the on line instructions that look similar to my first paragraph, snug, pop, tighten them, and then forget about it for another several years.

Then lift by the fenders.

Good luck.
