Is this for your 04?
If so, you have the wrong head bolt set.
Beginning in 2004, all the large head bolts became the same length. The shorter ones will not work for you.
97-03 cars used shorter bolts on the outside holes of the middle row, as stated above.
The GM part # for the 2004/newer head bolt set (for one head) is 17800568
The GM part # for 97-03 head bolt set (for one head) is 12498545
