Yeah, I made the mistake of forgetting the tangs one year when stepping. I loosened up all the rigging and actually had to Macguyver a rig using tie down straps and I forget what else to bring the cabin top down a few mm for the bolt to clear. Not making that mistake again. It sounds like one tang is longer than the other? If they are identical then you shouldn't have to do more than what's been recommended so far. However, if they are not identical I would have another one fabricated to be identical to your existing tang.
