As far as I know, those arms are quite bendable; I actually bent them to make the fender fit on one of my bikes. Of course if that doesn't work you're stuck with a fender you can't return...
You can also try a different fender design of course, one that does not require eyelets for attaching it.
I tried using the same eyelet for both, but it bends the fender in a way that allows it to run the tire.
Hm, this usually works for me (yes, I have a setup like that as well
). Did you try switching the order in which you install the two things?
