installing caddy engine cover and having problems

[chevy4x4trucks]

Alright, the caddy engine cover came in today and I got home about 7:15.  I was going to wait until friday afternoon to install it, but the box was staring at me so five seconds later I was under the hood.  The passenger side was easy, center piece isn't a problem (just test fit, I know it goes on last) but the drivers side I just couldn't get.  I could get the forward most bolt to line up but the rear was hanging up on the thottle cable and stopped 2" higher than the hole.  How do you get around it?

 

I know there's gotta be a way, but I tried every possible angle I could imagine.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.  The suns going down now so I probably won't get a chance to finish until tomorrow after work, but hopefully there is a good solution by then.

 

 

 

 

I guess now paco can say I'm trying to look very caddy'ish
