I put a xc skid plate on mine when I got it as no aftermarket ones were available in 2023 but I did have to manipulate it a bit to get the holes to line up. It was narrow like your saying. Now that it’s been on there for a couple years it comes on and off easy. It is a oem xc skid plate. It’s held up great. I take it off everyone once and a while to clean under it.

Keep all mount bolts loose until they are all started, threaded in, some guys have had to heat up the last corner to get  the bolts to start threading…once the plate is mounted it will stretch and fit good… or let the plate sit out in the sun for a bit before mounting it up…

I removed one of the rear aluminum spacers the bolts go through and used a rubber grommet on one side, after being mounted on the bike for a while, I was then able to reinstall the correct aluminum spacer

Acerbis skid plate went on with ease on my 300sx.  It also has the linkage guard as well.  Maybe you could return it?
