Default Installing 3.5" lift cont. arms

Hey guys I'm installing a Rough Country (because im not rich enough to get higher end lifts haha) 3.5" lift on my 93 zj, and when it came to installing the control arms they fit loose inside the flanges on the frame. When i slide the bolt through and snug down the nut, the cont. arm is able to slide back and forth. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

Bend the flanges in until it's a tight fit against the rubber bushings.

I was thinking that too, did they seem to work fine after driving for a while?
