Spare tire bracket in 2014 GLK 350 4MATIC
So my wife and I acquired a 2104 GLK 350. Very Nice. However, I cannot figure out how the spare tire bracket installs under the inflatable spare. I install it with the arrow facing forward, but it doesn't seem to fit. Unless I need a bigger hammer...Can't seem to find a good description of the install order, just some grainy videos
Any help is appreciated.
BTW, the bracket number I have is 204 898 15 14.
Many thanks,
Hameline

Thanks for the help, but I found the problem after staring at it for awhile......... someone had jacked the rear up by the wheel well. (#18) Broke through the plastic and deformed the metal, making the bottom un-flat and way out of dimension..... so, looking for a couple of heavy Germans at a Bosch shop to deform the well back into shape. I'll buy the plastic cover (#19) and install it myself. Not worth cutting out the metal and welding in new one......... how un-Mercedes of me !

dude you need to edit your post because it has a death wall of text.
But that is quite unfortunate to hear! yeah that is not the proper jacking point.
