So I ordered the S&B cold air intake from Moe's last week and tried installing it today on my 2014 and I don't see how this will fit.

I can't fault Moe or S&B though I guess, the kit is for a 2009-2013 Ram. I know the 2013's had issues with the A/C lines interfering with the air box and figured I could just make adjustments if necessary as others I have read did, but I just don't see this fitting. Can anyone see anything I'm doing wrong in the photos I've attached? Perhaps some advice or tips that I'm not aware of on getting it to work?

The bolt that secures the air box from the bottom is partially threaded to hold/support the kit as I tried lining up and threading the top bolt, however the top bolt is way off. I've loosed the A/C line brackets but there is not enough movement to clear the air box or the air scoop.

Have you tried bending the larger bracket attached to the fender to give the airbox a bit more clearance? That is what a few of the 2013 guys did in order to lift the airbox up that extra 3/4"-1".

Very few 2013's had trouble with this...Maybe 1 out of 40 or 50. For the few that did, it is a very slight bend to that AC bracket on the passenger fender. Takes 15 seconds to bend it, and you are good to go.

That's all I had to do. Loosen bracket, move bracket then tighten it up. Took seconds literally.
