Steering Wheel Install Problems

So Im installilng a Grant tuff wheel into my 70 Swinger and I purchased a repo can so I wouldnt have to use the Grant install kit, and have it look more factory. As you can see by the pic, I have a 1/4" gap and some spline left after tightening the steering nut, this cant be right, has anyone run into this problem? I cant see what would be stopping it from going on further.
