Default boss help please...

Spent the day sorting the car out and am now decided to fit the wheel and boss, everything is done apart from the boss doesnt sit right back and flush to the cowlings?? Looks bloody stupid from the side and cant understand where im going wrong? Its a momo boss but it looks like it wont go any further back so you can see behind the boss?

Any ideas?

If it sits to far back to the cowlings then surely it`ll foul them?

doesnt look like you have it on correctly, there should be an arrow that goes at the top cos the self cancel part looks too high. pic 2 looks bout right but the rest do look to be hanging out too far. it will only go back as far as the boss allows tho
