Hammer the bottom bit of the brackets out of the way as they are just tie down eyes for when the vehicle is being shipped. If you can't, I suggest taking it to someone who can cut the crappy weld at the bracket, then straighten them and weld them properly.
I wonder if the previous owner used the tie down points as recovery points and ripped the welds off?

My advice is: not to follow my advice.
What brand of bar is it? You might have to grind off the the edge that is hitting the bracket.

Would it really be a problem if I ground off the bottom of the body mount bracket level with the bottom of the rail?
Yeah, I see the extra piece of the bar at the bottom. Did you squash the rail a bit when you tried to shift them?

Really wish I could remember how my old ARB bar was fitted, pretty sure itwasthe same way as yours but obviously had no issue fitting though...... @AB how does yours fit old mate?
No, I had to bend them out not in
is the shipping tie down another fixing point like on some bars ??
That left Pic has been welded twice for some reason, can you or
is it possible to open the bullbar a tad so it slides over the body mount
