Building the kitbot frame- mate the holes?

So far, I love solidworks, I personally like a lot more than inventor.

Today I decided to try to put together the kitbot frame, and everything went fine for awhile. now I'm trying to get the holes of the end-caps to line up with the holes on the rails, but it just wont let me mate them. It keeps telling me that it would be over-defined. I have only mated the sides of the rails to the sides of the end-caps. Anyone have some hints as to how to do this?

Secondly, how would I go about adding nuts and bolts? I see that there is a "smart fasteners" option, but I need solid works toolbox for that (I have the student edition from the summer school program).

Thanks!
