@vince72 i had a chance to install mine tonight; drivers side specifically. I had the same issue. My solution was to shorten up the door rod a bit (need to go a bit further) and also put a piece of rubber hose on the handle stopper.
It barely rubs the bezel when I open the door - hence the need to go back and shorten the rod a bit further.
I installed the billet door lock too and had to modify the plastic chassis as the OE door lock “pins” that slide in the handle have a narrower profile. I didn’t get a photo of the drivers side portion of this job but I will get one on the passenger. This may be caused by the Holley aftermarket handle because it slid fine in the cheap Dorman handle.
My door handle is also a bit loose. I think I’m going to install some rubber washers where the set screws are and hopefully that will tighten it up some. So I’ll ultimately be removing this handle over the weekend.
