Some 9" Ford castings require clearance for of the case ribs to fit the torque arm.

well the mount on the torque arm has 4 bolt holes, And the pictures in the instructions use the 2 bolt holes closest the passenger side when I try to mount it on the support of the rear the mount in the torque arm hits one of the bolts for the support, if I use the 2 closets to the driver side then it hits the center section of the rear

Got it, had to grind down some of the bracket for the torque arm and everything fell into place
