Inserting fingers into channel to align is not required.Do not tighten by grasping bolt with fingers under the head.If the bolt is grasped in this fashion, this will lift Channel Nut, allowing it to turn and “look” falsely into place between channel's in-turned lips.Adjust fitting to final position; check to make sure Channel Nuts are still installed correctly with pyramid enhanced grooves engaging the channel's in-turned edges. Finally, fasteners are wrench tightened.1234
