Default kinetix control arms hitting inside fender

I just put on these kinetix control arms, I went to get the allignment done and they were unable to because the knuckle is hitting the inside of the fender and they need to be adjusted out even farther. look at the pictures, does everything look ok? should I cut a notch out of there to allow it to travel more? or can I adjust the struts? whats my problem here?

With respect Kinetix lost credibility about 6 years ago.

First they gave us catalytic converters that failed internally at about 30,000 miles. Then came the upper plenum that does nothing. And now, as your have found, suspension components that do not fit. Their stuff looks trick - its just terribly unreliable.
