Rubber bumpers go in those holes on the frame but the steering stem does not come anywhere near hitting them.

Right. You can mount a bracket that will raise the bumpers to the level of the tie rod mount. That's seems to be the easiest solution short of going to a stock zilla stem.

I had the same issue with my stem. And it took them 4 stems to even get only that much wrong with it. So I just learned to live with it as it was the smallest I their screwups and when your shipping to Canada back and forth it gets pretty costly.

i can't really tell, but it looks like its hitting the rubber damper brace?  why not just cut a notch on each side of the tierod mounts.
