Koyorad install issues

[rkcb7]

Hello everyone, as some of you may know I'm swapping a h22 into my cb7. Now I'm on the final stages of putting everything back together and one of the final stages is the radiator. I got a koyorad aluminum radiator (53mm) and put the fans on from the old radiator. Now the radiator doesn't seem to fit ! As you can see in the pictures if I was to take the fan off it still wouldn't slide past because where the bolts go it still sticks out a bit and along with the drain plug. Everyone's help is greatly appreciated so please help me out. Thanks in advance !!

Im not really sure what im seeing here. Have you tried bending the radiator support tabs on the bottom?

So are the bolts hitting the subframe? Maybe just grind away enough so you can get the bolts in or buy a traction bar to give you more space.

Yeah thats what i was thinking that i would have to grind away some of the subframe. The esp traction bar is in my plans as well so grinding away the subframe temporarily shouldn't be a big deal. Thanks for the advice !
