Sometimes it is necessary to enlarge the access holes to fish the block and carriage bolt through the frame, which may be the case for your Mustang. We usually use a file or a rotary tool to enlarge the opening. Keep in mind the block goes on the fishwire before the carriage bolt is threaded on. Also, be sure you are using the smaller block with the square hole, not the larger block with the round hole. Our installers are very experienced with the fishwire technique, so it will seem easier when they perform the installation.
If you could send me a few pictures of what is causing the problem, I can try to give you a more specific recommendation.
I included an install video of a draw-tite hitch that has an identical installation as the Curt # C11041. I hope this helps.
