I didn't use any washers because the bolts didn't come with any. Just figured that was the way it was supposed to be.

that is correct, they are designed to be used as is & they have a machined surface on the underside of the head. trim em as is if you can get to the ends & if not remove them & trim them then reinstall/torque with loctite
