2009 sportsman 500 rack

I just ordered and received a Polaris 6" rear mounted metal basket and a mounting kit for same so that the basket could be adapted to the "Lock and Ride" (easy on/off) system. I assembled everything as per the instructions and mounted the adapter to the basket but when I went to put it on the ATV it doesn't not come close to fitting. Polaris says it fits 2009 models - I don't think so. I believe the U-shaped bracket on the back of the mount is supposed to go over the plastic rack and then the "lock and ride" expansion plugs are supposed to fit into two holes that are close to where they should be. The U-shaped bracket is not wide enough to fit over the stock rack and the holes don't line up. Is Polaris pulling my leg or have others had the same problem and somebody changed the design of the stock plastic rack and didn't tell the mounting adapter manufacturer???? Puzzled and peeved.
