Default Mounting Rumble Lid Hinges; Where Did I Go Wrong!?

I’m at a loss...







I’m using almost all aftermarket parts here. And I’m mixing manufacturers...which never helps. The hinges and hinge brackets came from a car that was all bolted up and working, so I believe that the problem lies in the triangles and hinge braces. Do I have them positioned together correctly? It sure seemed obvious that the relief in the triangle would interact with the hole in the raised portion of the brace, but I had no original parts to compare to...





The easiest path forward would seem to be to build the hinge brackets from scratch to fit the hinges themselves. But, if it’s possible that different hinges/brackets could be the solution, I wouldn’t be opposed to purchasing those.

Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks,

-C
