Doug's headers not fitting - frustration

What I think might be wrong are the brackets, not the biscuits.

The ones I'm using were bought new from Schumacher and I confirmed when I ordered that they were what I needed to put a 360 on biscuit mounts in a 71 Duster. They absolutely 100% should work but if I could find a set of brackets close by I'd buy/rent/borrow them to see if they help.
could measure from the face to the holes and such and make a quick drawing.. someone here will have some they can compare to... faster than shipping/waiting
