So I tried installing my ACS rep aluminum pedals

So I bought these ACS rep pedals and I was able to install the brake pedal okay but had some trouble when it came to the gas pedal.

There is no way to access the bottom right section of the pedal where you need to drill the hole so I removed the entire accelerator module. Upon removing the accelerator module and drilling the top 2 holes and bottom left hole, I realized that there is not enough room/the screw is not long enough to install the nuts and washer into it to keep it in place. And furthermore the bottom right section that I mentioned before is still inaccessible and it looks like a screw of almost any length could get in the way. I can take my pedal off tomorrow and take pictures but I imagine somebody else has had this problem. Would love to know how you solved it. I am probably going to saw off the plastic somehow to make room for the nut and then analyze the bottom right area to see what I can do.

I had no problem with my installation. They look similar. What are the dimensions of your pedal?
