Could you provide more information on your mounting setup? We mount our latches so that the 1/8 L brackets supports them and should take all horizontal forces. All the latch should be doing is holding the bumper down.

I like your internal sheet frame structure, that could help with a lot of the bumper fit problems we have. We had similar L brackets (probably custom 090 sheet). I also don't think we were as careful with installation.
