I ended up grinding a little off the cap to clear the shell lip, works fine and no leaks.
Not a recommended fix, but time and distance were too great for a return visit to the radiator shop.

It sounds to me like your radiator guy mis-located the side straps when he resoldered them to the top tank, the straps contain the Shell mounting tabs. Not a difficult task to cure, but time consuming.
