Now we are talking $50 intake vs a $300 intake so I can't call quality here, there must be something else at play. Anyone run into this issue? Does our car have 2 different model air sensors?

I have the exact same issue with an intake I ordered. It sucks haha and I can't return it now cause I had it forgot about. Have to find a way to rig it up to work somehow. I could file out the maf sensor hole and try to find a way to secure the sensor down tight. The maf sensor is literally less than a mm to big but screw holes are off quote a bit.

Bump if anyone could point me in the right direction to get my intake to work

If the screw holes are that far off it might be better to drill new holes and tap them if there's enough material. If not then I would say try and find a different intake or at least a section with a MAF mount. I think someone had one posted in the classifieds section on the forum. Can you put up a picture or two of the hole alignment?

Does the sensor fit in the hole? The screws aren't esencial, they're just there to locate its orientation and keep it in place.

Sensor is maybe 1mm bigger than the hole

Well if you have tools to make the hole bigger and get the sensor in there you can just seal it with a little silicone and zip ties.

Just make sure it's oriented in the right direction and dead nuts straight.

I think I can bolt one bolt in? I don't remember honestly. When I saw it didn't work I ripped out the intake pipe and chucked it across the drive lmao. I'm off this weekend ill try it then

Never thought about zip tying the sensor down. That'll work! I'm guessing if I take a metal file to the hole ill be able to get it to fit. It's not off by much but enough to piss me off hahaha

Nope neither lined up on mine. Both were off about 3-5 mm or so. The maf is less than a mm from fitting but it wouldn't go down. I'd say I'll be installing it this weekend coming & I'll let you know how it works out

I would be a little weary of the zip ties on the MAF, don't want any leaks there. Maybe you can make an adapter with some aluminum stock.

This is all the materials I had to work with lol. Ill figure something out maybe next weekend. Maybe shove it in without zip ties then use those long thick zip ties to go around it like an x shape to hold it in sealed.

I gottcha, nothing beats the zip tie X, saved my ass more times than I can count haha. Glad you got it to work, nothing worse than not being able to use something you spent hard earned dollars on.
