Problem installing front Speedymoto fork/axle sliders

I just bought and installed the Speedymoto front fork slider kit for my Monster. THe problem is that I cannot torque the bolt to 27 N-m. I find that the axle itself sticks out, so when you start tightening the bolt, the axle starts cutting into the HDPE slider. The center tube and bolt won't bottom out and allow proper torquing. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? My front slider kit came with a SILVER tube, not the orange identified in the instructions but the size is correct.

I bought the Speedymoto rear axle kit for my 696, and no instructions were included. But I was able to torque the bolt to 20 N-m since everything clamped properly. However, I'm not sure I'd trust the sliders to be durable enough to be used as spools for a rear stand.

I'd call them directly with the question.  Maybe the wrong part got shipped by mistake, etc.  They are good with customer service.
