What is the problem??
I will take a shot... you purchased a "cheap" chrome valve cover and the lower, rear bolt holes do not line up? (just a guess)

You might try putting the bolts in loosely, after you get them started should be able to move cover around to get them all in place before tightening.

Those Chinese chrome valve covers are garbage. Wrong bolt holes, no baffles. Pitch it in the trash and put the real one back on.
