Steering wheel swap: airbag issue

I got a RSX steering wheel and Im having a little problem:



That's the left side. The right side aligns just fine, no issues, and I actually was able to screw it in with no problem. How much can I "finesse" the tab/bracket? If I use a screw driver I can get the hole to line up, but then I'd be screwing the screw in with pre-load.

Looked at other RSX airbag pictures and noticed the "angled bracket" on my airbag wasn't supposed to be angled at all. lol

I grew a pair and bent the bracket back straight, problem solved.

Nope, definitely not 100% plug and play. I used the wiring diagram from the thread I linked, but my CC still isn't working. And I don't use radio controls with my aftermarket stereo, so losing the controls doesn't matter to me. The only things that are plug and play is the actual airbag connector and the horn connector.

I couldn't get the CC to work either. It's a little annoying to not have CC but I'm too lazy to try and fix it
