Default arm rest woes

hey everyone, i had a question maybe someone might have an idea about. i recently purchased a new pair of c4 armrests from corvette america and am having a problem with installation - i cant seem to get the holes in the handle cup to line up with the screw mounts. the door pads are not new, but are in decent shape and should be mounted properly. whenever i try to install the arm rests tho, the holes seem to be about 1/2" away from the screw mounts in the doors.

any help would really be great, thanks!

I just insulated my doors, repaired the door panels and cleaned everything up. I had a similar issue but the problem for me was I needed to push everything in a half inch (leaned into the panel) and it lined up nicely
