A little more work and much tighter. I figure i can put a small slice in the two corners and bent the metal in and then weld it up there.

Is it a 1/2 inch on both sides ?
I personally would just modify that rail to move the mounting holes to where you want it. It will take a little work, but you have everything else fitted already.
You know what you need to do so it's not a hack job.
I know it's easy to say but just do it right.
Doesn't seem hard to move those holes. Top bracket from the old rail looks usable. Remove the top piece, take out the support, remove bolt sleeves, make plugs from scrap metal, weld them in, drill new holes, reinstall stuff, weld top piece on, and grind away. Easy peasy...lemon squeezy.
