Default Right Kick Panel Fitting

Guys,
I am restoring a 69 with AC and bought replacement kick panels. The left KP fit fine but the right one(passenger side) is giving me trouble. There is a fan blower door actuator\valve or whatever you call it that does not let me get it in place. Has anyone else run across this and how did you resolve? The only thing I can see I can do is cut it to fit but that can't be right.
I tossed the old one before I tried to fit the new one and I can't recall the design. Also, I bought this at Zip-Corvette if you want to see a picture of it. It is just a mirror image of the left one.

Default Hacksaw

I have a '75 with A/C and the panel is cut. The AIM indicates that the part was cut with a hacksaw while on the assembly line. It's not pretty but it was how it was done.

Basically you just have to cut a section out for clearance. There is only one made, so you have to adapt it.
