Long story short, they sent me another cover under warranty. Check your holes and replace the hardware. The holes are pretty darn tight. Bolts don’t require more than snug tight.
This was a known issue from early batches of the NRW valve covers. When I did my group buy of 12 sets, Neil did warn me to check all the bolt holes before installing as some may be overly tight and need re-threading. Luckily for me all 12 sets installed with no issues.
