I guess it might need two pairs of hands or a second look, if you can drive it then maybe can help.. don't give up anyway, things should fit unless the body has been shunted hard sometime previously..

TBH Mickey it does sound like its you LOL...........  All bits were made in there thousand for a production line build and should go straight on.  Brain self harms after about an hour and needs time to heal using artificial stimulants.

More seriously, grill should fit unless a crap copy and the tailgate will be the latch fitment/alignment.  Take the lower catch off and sort out the tailgate fitment correctly first, the way it lines up. Then refit and adjust to suit.  Just patience and a little experience, hang in, it will all be ok.
