I had the same issue with the weatherstrip I got from ACT for my 46 1/2 ton. I ended up not using the small strips. I took the long strips and set them in the groove on the truck to eye it up. I used the pre-existing holes that were in the grooves (I had three on each side) to use screws through the weatherstrip. I also used a weatherstrip adhesive on the strip as I put it down. It may not be how it was done originally but it is on there nicely and the hood shuts easily and snugly.
