2015 armada air cleaner box issue
 

Hello. this is my first visit to the forum after purchasing a 2015 armada sl. The air cleaner housing assembly wont close with the filter in it . I have searched the internet for a solution , only to learn that this is a common problem with certain year model armadas , and that no one had an actual solution for the problem. Not even the local nissan dealer. any ideas or mods on the housing ? And yes I tried every angle and pressure , with no success.

Thans for any help provided.
