I've installed a few dozen fenders (mudguards, whatever) over the years and they are ALWAYS a pain in the ass. Fender jobs never go as planned. There are always so many annoying problems to solve, tight spots, crimping, filing, unbolting, fiddling, new tight spots, more filing, more crimping.
As pretty much everyone has said in this thread, not the fault of VO that they didn't work on your frame unfortunately. There are plenty of bike/fender combinations out there that mix like oil and water, and your bike was just one of them.
PhilDAS pretty much summed it up perfectly, and hard lols ensued:
"I don't think it's the fault of the mudguard that it doesn't fit under your specific fork"
