Bucket Seats Conversion

I recently converted my 68SS interior to bucket seats. I have the new seats covered and installed but the seats seem to sit really close to the steering wheel, almost to the point where its hard to drive. I followed the instructions with the conversion brackets that said to use the current factory bolt holes that the bench used.I am sure that the brackets are correct since I ordered 2 different sets from different suppliers and they were the same. I would appreciate any ideas as to what might be wrong.The seats also seem a little higher.
