[Elecraft] fit of K3 top cover

I have been slowly assembling K3 #5642.  Progress has been uneventful up 
to the point where I am to install the top cover on the basic 10w 
version, prior to calibration and testing.  The mid-point of the left 
side of the top cover does not sit down sufficiently.  It appears that 
the chassis stiffener is a bit too high on that side (the KPA3 shield 
has been installed).  I investigated and it appears to me that the 
cup-like structure that the screw enters on the left end of the 
stiffener is vertically misplaced, causing that end of the stiffener to 
be too high for the top cover.  The stiffener does not appear to be bent 
in any way.  Everything else has fit perfectly.  I would appreciate any 
suggestions.
