These appear really tight and the u bolt spread a little larger than hole alignment
Any experience with these ?
Should I bend the bolt and jam it in?

Yes...the U Bolts spring "open"...gently squeeze them in a vice or gently tap with a BFH close to the threaded end or run 2-3 old nuts on each end before hitting or clamping (to save damaging the threads)...then they should slide right in...
