When you insert the blade ends into the footpockets you must initially bend the rails to the sides in order to properly/fully insert the blades. Now before you install the rails screw the blades to the footpocket with the mounting kit (screws, plastic bridge and shims) that should have been supplied with your order. If you follow the steps described above, I'd be surprised if the rails were still too short to properly fit in the notches.
