P.J. - You are supposed to use longer bolts to accommodate the depth of the brackets!!!

OP - You can download the instructions (Google), which should say what size you need. Failing that, remove one, then buy longer ones.

Have a look, when I fitted mine, I took bolts off the car where the brackets go and bolted the brackets in place using those bolts...

EDIT: What do you mean loftust?

Your bolts are too short and should be changed ASAP.

You may not be experiencing any problems, but as an Engineer, I'd do something about it rather than increase the risk of the HT flying off.
