Calling all KO MP Sideswipe Owners! Torso fix: Anyone?

Not the hood part, but the section where the backside of the torso locks into place. Its like the clip isn't big enough.

How did you all fix this?

Here is my image, hopefully you can understand...

You can still lock the hood in place without having A and B fit together. You just have to fiddle with the angles.

Otherwise you can probably just sand things down to make them fit. The hood pegs over into the white peg on the belly area anyway, keeping things in place.

I tried but the hood pushes outwards because the torso won't lock into place....Like a spring.
Oh and the white peg doesn't fit into the hood hole either lol Double wammy.

I had this same issue. I used a sharp exacto knife and shaved off some plastic little by little. I watched a rocketpuncharmy on YouTube in his review I think he mentioned he had to do it too. Mine clicks in place. As for the little notch, had to widen it too. These KOs need little exacto adjustments but after that all is good!

I also used a sharp hobby knife and during the process even bled for Sideswipe. He's fixed now. Booya!
