Thanks so much Joel!

The way Dale does his saddles can be confusing. There is an explanation on his website.

The saddles did not fit right for me either when I first put them on, then I realized when I checked the manual that they're suppose to fit so when the saddle is turned upside down, the lettering on the back of the saddle match up with the strings. then you flip it around and it will match up prefect.

i.e. upside down, the D will face the D string and the E will face the E string. Then flip it. Now the E lettering will be under the D string and the D lettering will be under the E string.

Also, the sides are only suppose to touch at the top of each saddle. that's the design for ultimate tone. You gotta get the bridge!!! it'll sound way better that the stock Fender IMHO.
I hope this made sense.
