Helix Intercooler Install problem

Anyone else have trouble lining up the screw hole for the intercooler mount on the driver's side? I know the video says to use a pry bar to "gently" apply forward pressure, but I couldn't budge it for the life of me. I ended up installing without this screw in place. Any suggestions?

You mean the underside screw that holds the intercooler in place? I just used my floor jack to "lift" it in to position rather than trying to balance and screw at the same time. My griots garage jack has a nice rubber insert that kept the IC from sliding/being scratched.

Yes, there are two of them, one on each side, and the kit includes a washer.
