Looks bound up on something instead of laying flat to the base.
Looks like it is sitting on top of the two front tabs instead of aligning with the holes to insert.
There must be something not aligned or matched correctly.
It's not aligned right in the pics because I was lifting the front part of the bracket up to get a picture of the mounting tab at the rear. There's also a small plastic nub on the back of the box that I need to cut so it has the proper depth clearance, but I'm pretty confident that nub is just a manufacturing leftover from the plastic mold, so I'm not worried about cutting it.

It's a perfect fit. When I first attempted to install it, it wasn't making sense, and I had the bracket on backwards. Try putting the bracket in by itself without the charger.
I made the same mistake, trying to install it backwards. My WFCO converter was mounted with the heatsink at the front of the box, so I was trying it that way. I called Randy and he corrected me on that.
However, this is definitely not a perfect fit in my box. The sled is about an inch wider than the mounting tabs that are molded into the back floor of the box. In one of the pics you can see this issue. The left side of the sled is correctly mounted into the tab, and you can see that the right side overhangs it's tab by about an inch.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to remove one or both of the rear mounting tabs from the box. However, the alignment is still not right. The adapter bracket's alignment pushes the fan on the front right all the way to the right edge of the box (about 1/8" past actually). I could probably take a dremel to the adapter bracket and elongate those holes to alleviate that problem, but cutting the mounting tabs means the entire rear of the converter is unsupported. I'm not sure I want to do that.
