Default Fitment problems with double din

I have the double din pioneer 5500, I cant seem to get everything to line up to save my life. I have drilled, cut, and bent the brackets for the radio but still no luck. I don't know what the deal is, the bezel itself fits like a glove, the ac has been moved down a hair but these brackets are simple hit or miss it seems, I have even left them all extreamly loose to wiggle with no luck. Any tips or ideas

I have some pictures but don't know how to load them. Three days of playing with brackets is enough, next week the setup will be for sale for cash plus stock radio/bezel. Any tips or ideas
Which type of car is it? C5?

You could simply pack all the stuff you got so far together and bring it to your local car audio place. Piece of cake for them. And they can do a final adjustment of your amps if needed. Id do that before selling it.
