If it is identical, then you may have another problem. For example, is it possible that you over-tightened the shoulder bolt that holds the insert in place? That might cause the shape to distort and make it difficult for the lock to turn.

The locks are in correctly, but I remember that the driver's side bolt did not go in as far as the passenger side one. I then tightened it with more effort and made it almost touch the outer panel skin. This maybe the problem. I guess I will have to open up the driver's side again and back the bolt out by an eighth to a quarter inch. Thanks for that tip.
