Default Teraflex SS/JKS relocation bracket - WTF am I doing wrong?

I tried to get this combo mounted up today, and I can't manage to get it right. No matter how I have it oriented, the body of the SS rubs on the tie rod. I tried flipping the stabilizer over the opposite way, but it still rubs. I extended to piston out farther, but then I couldn't turn the wheels all the way to lock. Is there something that I'm missing, or do these just not work together. I'll get some pics taken tomorrow. I was working an hour after dark with a flashlight trying to get this done.

Pic? Have you tried flipping the clamp on the tierod over? I dunno if you have the new clamp or old version, but if you have the newer one , try positioning it different, take it all the way off and put the nub/post so its up and to the rear.

I have the old clamp. I tried spinning it around that way and it still rubs.

Agree with mk. Also with the jks bracket the shock end goes in between both driver side most holes, not just using the front side hole.
U can see in this pic. That's jks bracket with tf ss shock.

I'm thinking he may have the jks relocate bracket for just the ss and maybe not the one you have for the trackbar, i dunno though.

Edit, just saw his post, yeah he must have the ss/ TB reinforcement with no tb relocate.

Here are two pics that I just took. Unfortunately, I have the stabilizer pulled off because I gave up for the night. I was getting too frustrated and needed a beer or ten.
