Default Stage 3 Extension Winglets Installation Issue

I have been trying to install the winglets however the fender extension is creating a gap and blocking the back part of the winglet from fully attaching. I do not know how to fix this and have tried multiple winglets already however none work. I would appreciate some help on how to fix this.

By the look of your photo's it looks like your front spliter was not made to fit stage 2 or 3 winglets

you could cut the bottom of the fender extension to make fit! also the stage spat needs longer bolts to attach to fender extension and fender!

If its the copy version from EOS, I was able to line them up without cutting the extension. It was under tension but I was able to pull it forward, mark 2 holes, drill them and then pull the winglet to match the end. I left it fall just a touch back as it looked better than flush

The aftermarket splitter is installed too far forward likely. I've done this install with aftermarket splitters. while installing, the splitter and splitter ends need to be bolted together first, then up to the car.

It's definitely aftermarket due to the lack of bolt holes.
