I'm assuming you don't have the bracket on. Those two holes you see are for the screws which hold the bracket, they are the biggest pain in the world to get on! Start the screw by hand (mine came with hex screws), then try to use a ratchet or screw driver to tighten it up. It does take time to get it on tight and straight, I guess you could always pay Honda to do it if you can't get it on.
