So i bought some new AI Blade Grow lights with 2 Ecotech Radion XR15's.
Purchased the RMS Slide adapter for the lights.

none of the mounting hardware is the correct length and am just curious if I'm missing something or if at that point it becomes kind of DIY and i have to go find some proper sized bolts? i saw 3D reefing's mounting system but unfortunately after i already purchased the AI Hybrid Mount or else I would've picked theirs up, there is now instructions for hooking it up to a radion at all. the holes in the arms are too big for the bolts provided. my only thought is to take the top plate off like you would for the 3D reefing style and mount it under and then screw the top back in?

if anyone can let me know how they did it with the AI hybrid mount specifically.. i would appreciate it! :D

Did you make it work? :) Is it an "AI-branded" bracket or is it a 3rd Party aftermarket one?

Were did you get your set of longer screws? How did you finally connect the metal brackets to the XR15? I am having the same problem.
