Default Rear beam bush help

Hi all just tried to fit the rear beam on the cos, & it's as if the bolts aint long enough to get a thread to tighten?? I've had new power flex bushes am I doing something wrong?? Or is there a special way of doing this?? or do I need longer bolts?? It's the long 1's out of the 3 I mean. Thanks in advance.

Bolts are correct as its fiddly to do with new poly bushes till they've been in and squashed abit. Theres a few ways to do it either put other 2 bolts in till you can get big bolt in or some people use a jack as you only need a few mm to do it.

There should be a metal sleave in there somewhere to locate the bush bolt into the car
If its not aligned properly it will seem like its too short
