Default 1969 SBC lower radiator brackets

I've been fighting to get a radiator in on my 1969 sbc corvette for like 2 years now.....not sure why I'm having so much trouble. does the right side lower bracket look normal to you guys? I think either it is noticeably twisted or someone moved it. It seems to have more gap than the left one and looking around online, it does look like something is off but I can't find a picture around on the internet close up enough to be absolutely sure. tell me what you think. If I have time I'm going to pull the radiator back out tomorrow and take a closer look.

Lord knows how many times the car has been repaired and parts replaced. You may have to tweak the supports to obtain a better fit.

Is your car air conditioned? Might not make a difference, but looking at the AIM for your year car might help. Something just doesn't look right to me.
