    Turn the toilet over and inspect the bolt hole areas. You may have picked up some debris or got you bolts cock eyed in the flange. I've never seen a Kohler like you are talking. With the toilet up side down lay a straight edge across the base and measure to each bolt hole. Also recheck your flange at this point for debris like that missing nut from the bolt.
