Putting the inner fenders in is a not a simple job if the outer fender is in place.
The fender will be tight and not wanting to flex any. Using a long punch are pin will help much in getting the holes lined up. The fender has a tendency of tilting in at the top so the holes don't line up well.

I always try to get the inner most holes started first then the ones along the outer lip of the fender. That big bolt with large washer is one of the first ones I install.
