2004 Boxster Alternator install issue

[dorsaiboxster]

Got the alternator out (the rotate down clockwise part was a beast, my bushing was still poking out I think )

now new alternator wired up and reversed process to install ... but can't seem to get alternator to rotate counter clockwise and slide right to get bolt into U bracket and lower bolt hole lined up ...

so when I try to rotate counter clockwise the left side lower bracket catches or I seem to be restricted ... Is there a shield that needs to be removed to make enough room ?



any suggestions appreciated

Thanks
