Default Shower Door Radius at Bottom Corner Causing Gap

Question pertains to installation of shower door. I cut the bottom per
directions, measuring above the curve on the bottom of the shower stall
(fiberglass) and deducting the 9/16" from the measurment.
When I put the bottom piece down, there is a quarter inch gap on each
end (aprox.) due to the radius, I can't get the piece to fit snugly
againts the wall on the pivot side.
Also, here's the really bad part. When I put the strike piece againts
the side wall of the shower, it does not fit squarely at the bottom due
to the radius at the bottom, same thing on the pivot side, gap at the
bottom corner. If I try to raise the piece up such that the gap is
minimized the strike/pivot pieces are almost over the top of the
bottom piece. Suggestions? Thanks.
