Hi, im pretty new to the bmx world, i want to run pegs and hub guards, I bought a universal rear hub guard but I’m having trouble fitting it (none drive side), the only way i’ve got it to fit is outside the frame, am I doing something wrong?
My bike is the same Sunday scout from the picture, also the hub guard is the same with that same hardware.
Thanks for your help!

Showing pictures of your actually hub and frame would help. Even being universal not everything works.
hub guards fit best on the hub they are made for. the only true universal guests are the kind that attach to your spokes. otherwise there are so many different things that affect a hub fit that you should at least try to match brands
That looks like a drive side to me with the notch cut out. Really no reason for that to be there unless its the opening for the chain. The non drive should just be a complete cone.
Sorry I didn’t read & interpret your question for some reason… I did comment on another reply but since I came back & read this correctly I’ll now reply to you.
It needs to be forced. Mine doesn’t naturally fit either, so I force the frame around it… I know this seems destructive & incorrect but that’s just how it is done for most drive side hub guards.
I know the federal drive side hub guards have a replacement cone nut that allows the guard to sit on the cone nut itself, therefore taking up no extra room. Some other brands may also have the same design.
As for non drive side hub guards they generally have a slot that fits around the pre-existing cone nut which specific to manufacturer.
I have a shadow conspiracy raptor freecoaster, my non drive side guard is a Salt universal guard that fits that cone nut… I also have a eclat cortex freecoaster that came with a eclat non drive side guard made to fit that hubs non drive side cone nut… I run my Kink drive side guard on both of those wheels, & I have to force them both in with the wheel stretching the frame in the process.
It’s not been a problem,
If you are running just this on your non drive side I imagine it will be fine since it’s the same amount just on the opposite side. If you are going to run a guard on both drive & non drive sides then I wouldn’t run two like this, you should get the non drive side that fits that cone nut & only run one that adds width on the drive side.
Alternatively if you don’t want to stretch it you need to buy a non drive side guard with a slot that is the same size as the wrench cut outs on your cone nut…
I’ll take a picture so you can see how that would work.
