.308 spacer block in M1

Fulton Armory's closed 'till Monday I guess (can't blame 'em)... If there's anyone "listing" who's fitted a .308 spacer block to a .308 Garand, I'd like to ask - please - for a bit of a hint: is it supposed to interefere with the op rod latch mechanism in such a way as to keep the bolt from locking back? I figured out how to install the one I just received earlier this week but the flange on the left side (as it sits in the receiver, nestled into the bullet guide) locks the aformentioned op rod latch arm up against the clip release pin. Am I supposed to grind a bit of material off the spacer's flange to clear the latch arm or have I got it together wrong, even though everything fits & seems to work - except for the bolt lock back of course?
