This is my first build and I ran into an issue. My bolt won't clear the ejector. I put the bolt in with the guide cam or whatever its called facing up and tried to run it through the reciever but it gets hung up halfway up the slant part of the ejection fin. Am I supposed to file this thing down? Will that cause ejection issues? Please help fast!

I'm assuming you're using a Childers receiver? If so, yes, you need to trim the ejector to clear the bolt.

This. I just did two. Go slow and check and you go and it is easy enough.

If you have one, use a Dremel tool with a sandpaper drum to reduce the face of the ejector. You'll bet better results than using a file.  As SScot said, go slow and check as you go.
