Exclamation Swapped out fron end parts, now need help!

I swapped my new fenders, valence and chrome onto my 79 this weekend. Everything looks good except for the alignment of the fenders. Both doors rub the fenders right at the crease point, and on the drivers side the fender dosen't sit up againts the cab correctly. How exactly do I fix this?

loosen all the bolts, then wiggle the fender to the correct position, then retightren the bolts. You are supposed to do this to check panel alignment before you tighten all them down.

The bolt holes on the fender by the door [the three big ones] dont have slots to move in, only holes. There are shims stock, and I re-used them, but Im not sure where to add or remove certain ones to get it to move the way I want.
