I found a couple of threads on US forums discussing this issue, not many answers to cause other than grind the metal plate down....
I have taken a few mm from the edges of the plate that are in the area it won't close and yes it's better but still not as nice as it should be... Makes no sense at all, lots of head scratching...
So the plate is there to hold the filter down sooo is it now not being held down correctly....
I give up with this chap, not had problems with k&n before but not happy with this at all :rolleyes
Will probably order a Bmc.
