Default installing new fenders on 95 civic

So i bought new fenders for my 1995 honda civic ex 2 door.
i put them on but it is sticking up on the corners by the door. and theres a gap between my passenger fender

notice on the passenger the gap.. do i need to take it off and re do it.??
and i dont kno if u can notice on both of them theres like a lip in the corner up by where the door meets it..
if u can notice it please let me kno if there is any way i can make it fit the right way or if i just have to keep them on and make them line up. thanks a bunch.

loosen the bolts and try to move them around. I don't think you have to remove them completely.

I wouldn't get my hopes too high, though. I've gone the aftermarket route and went through what you're going through. They never lined up the way they're supposed to.

your not going to be able to move that right fender and still keep it lined up in the front. Just get some JDM one from password, they are a little cheaper than OEM, and the fit damn well.
