Projections were a snug fit, but even if a loose fit you just press the assembly either backwards or forwards as you tighten down the vice.
I use the same method except my flat bar is 1/4" thick. I pull the vice forward til the flat bar hits the slots edge on each end, then tighten the nuts. My bar is packed out with a 123 block and several parallels because the bar is thinner than John Stevenson's.
