So once I found the directions on Springfield Dyno's website it wasn't too hard to figure out. The pins don't go inside the bracket. I had to bend my factory upper mounting points to bring the bottom of the radiator towards the front of the car and line up with the oem lower mounts. Then I had to mark and drill the radiator because it didnt have the hole for the pin to go through. I also still had to remove one of the factory lower brackets to slide it up from the bottom. I also had to bend part of the bracket out of the way to keep from hitting the front side of the radiator.

I too had a hell of a time getting my SD radiator into my car ('96) but I knew I had a slightly tweaked right frame horn (ahead of the shock tower). Ended up having to do some cutting to the lower radiator brackets to make enough room for the thicker (than my previous Mishimoto) unit but it all ended up fitting, just very, very tightly.
Be certain to not have electrical continuity between the radiator and the chassis otherwise you end up with the AL-FE electrolysis process that eats through your radiator.
Google it to be sure but I believe you can check for this with a voltmeter - positive contact in the radiator water, negative on a ground. A positive voltage above (hit the Google) and you're risking holes.

That thing was a PITA to install in my car as well. I had issues with the upper mounting points.
Used it once then sold it.
