Default Dash not fitting right after w200 install

I just installed the W200 into my xb using the Metra 95-8202 kit, and for some reason the left side of the center console (driver side) does not sit all the way back where it should. It is spaced out about 1/4-1/2 inch. If I press on it up by the driver side vent I can get it to sit flush, but I have to apply a decent amount of pressure, as soon as I let go, it slowly extends to about 1/4" gap, by the next day it is about a 1/2" gap. I have taken the bezel off and on dozens of times in the past and never had this problem. I naturally assuemd I must have left something in the way, so I pulled things back apart to inspect. I have removed and reinstalled everything at least 3 times to try and remedy the problem to no avail. I can't seem to see anything interfering. The W200 fits entirely within the opening, the only thing I can think of that might be causing the problem would be the metra 95-8202 kit, but it is mounted to the factory ISO brackets, and as such should not be the issue.


Does anyone have any suggestions?


The next step in my troubleshooting is to remove the metra kit temporarily and see if things sit flush with just the w200 and the ugly gaps on either side, at least that will help me identify if the metra kit is the problem
