Default APC Lense problem?

I just picked up my Carbon Fiber/APC lenses for my Sierra Denali. Its a 2002. The light socket placement is different than the stock lense and there is a piece of material blocking the new lense from going in due to the different placement of the bulbs. What is the deal here? Am I missing something?? Confused....

The middle "bar" in the tailight area is in the way of the upper light. The second picture shows the APC in place and you can see how it wont clear? I don't know what the deal is.

Never ever buy an APC product. After cutting a small section out behind the tailight area to get the APC's to work, I noticed while holding the left lense up while screwing in *note the screws BARELY started, real crappy design* that the left lense was dented pretty badly. I unwrapped the right one and it was damaged pretty well also. Pisses me off. Screw APC
