RN waterbox in BOB gen 2 issue

I have been battling alignment issues with couplers in my bob all summer. I have a gen 2 bob hull and originally was using a SN waterbox that seemed to be working out for the most part until recently my bpipe chamber kept slipping off the head pipe. I think it was because the hose connecting the chamber to the waterbox was pulling the front of the chamber down thus causing the other end of the chamber/coupler to slip off. I had both 4" clamps tightened down but it wouldn't sit flush because the stinger end was being pulled down.

So I bought a 2014 RN waterbox. My first question is will the 2014 RN box fit in the bob hull? Are they the same size as the 96+?

Secondly, is the RN box sitting correctly in my picture? As you can see there is a height difference from the end of the chamber and the waterbox. I just don't want to have the same issues of the stinger end of the chamber falling down. I have tried to stick turf under the chamber to hold it up but it didn't work. And before I cut up my elbow hose to make it fit I wanted to check to see if everything looked good on the waterbox and bpipe chamber alignment.

Thanks for the help. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

That might be my problem too. I think I have the chamber side of the box angled down so it sits flat. I have the stock box holders from
my SN(strap holders with the rubber deal on it). Should I get ride of those since I have a sheet of turf under the waterbox?

Yup the box has to sit on angle. Helps to raise the box as much as possible too... I have 2 layers of turf under and more wedged under pipe side. Both straps are connected to the center mount with a rubber bumper. Left the other strap connector out completely because it doesn't line up.
 
Noticed the strap didn't line up well on mine too. Answered my next question ha. Then do you have three straps on one hook? Two for the box and one for your fuel tank? I'm running a SJ tank because a cart tank is too small for me

Yes 3 on 1 to make it work. You may want to concider glassing some more inserts in though. My chan has 3 in that location.
