Series 1 rear light fitting

The title sounds obvious but I ordered a new complete rear light and when I came to try and fit it, I could attach it all ok but when I came to try and attach the new rubber gasket I could not get the bolts onto the screw threads?
I know it's not rocket science so maybe I am doing something wrong like fitting the fixing bracket on wrong maybe?

I just hope I can get some feedback as to an easy fix on this?
It did not help my cause when websites selling parts advertise rear light for series one and early series two together?

Look forward to any expert help on this?

Welcome to the Forum Charlie. I suspect that the holes in the rubber gasket are out so you may have to make some more holes, if I am understanding you correctly. Pretty typical of lots of replacement parts i'm afraid.

Hi rich thanks for the reply.
It's confused me and one of a good lesson is to try and purchase original as we can but we know how hard that can be? The seal itself is only the type that wraps around the rim not the one your thinking of?
I just mainly want to know how to fix the bracket correctly that came with the light as I do not know if I am fixing it correctly, like I said in original post, it fits nice until I come to fit the bracket and gasket?
