Did you also have to alter the spacers? Mine have tabs that look wider than opening on the rack.

That is correct. I trimmed the rectangular spacer tabs off completely.
My kit came with t-bolts not t-nuts and did need modification. If you hold up the t-bolt head to the profile of your slot you can get an idea of the material that needs to be removed. I trimmed mine with an angle grinder/cutoff wheel. Grind, test fit and repeat until you have a good fit.
It’s a bit of extra work to fit it just right but the connection to the rack is stout. I never have been a fan of the strap on connections and I really don’t think they are intended for the wide rectangular shape of these racks.
