Can anyone help me on a construction issue with the Laketown set?

I know this isn't an investing question, but I've scoured the internets and can't find the help I'm looking for. My son and I were building the Hobbit Laketown set 79013 but on step 3 in the first book (building the boat) we can't get the boat piece depicted on the right side of the page to fit on the base rectangle piece due to the stack of mostly gray bricks in the middle. They just don't fit up against it. There's no room for the pieces to snap together. Anyone else have this problem, or did we do something wrong? I've build tons of sets in my life, and this is the first time I've been stumped.
