96 Polaris Gas Tank Instilltion

I recently worked on my polaris sportsman 500 and I had to take the gas tank out and now no matter what I do I cant seem to get it to go back in all the way like it was. Is there anyone out there that can help with my trouble shooting of this problem and/or send pictures of a gas tank mounted in the proper location. Thanks.

The only grooves I see in the frame seem a little too small width wise for the tabs to fit in to. Is there anyway you can show me a picture. Ive been fighting it for about 3 hours and nothing seems to work. Thanks again.
