    Can you post pictures so we can see the situation better.
    1. I used the glue that came with the kit.

    2. Err... I just pushed it all the way home and clamped it. I assumed that the little chrome adjuster things would allow me to adjust the length.

    3. The photo file upload keeps failing (sorry)

    Sorry to say, but it looks like you are about to learn how to steam a guitar neck off.

    The bridge has adjustment range, but not enough to correct that far. You are gonna need to measure from the nut to the 12th fret and then take that measurement and use it to work out the distance from the 12th fret to the bridge. The neck won't necessarily just slot in and work out at that length. As you can see, the fretboard clearly hangs into the pickup rout and there is no room for the pickup let alone the ring that needs to go around it.

    It's all a learning process, don't worry about it too much. You don't learn anything from getting it right all the time.

    There's an old workshop saying, "measure twice, cut once". Applicable here, but at least you can try again with a little extra effort.
