Bolt loads and reaction forces don't equate

In modelling a bolted joint through which all the loads must pass through the bolts (as a tight fit) and contact faces, the total reaction force for the structure at the restrained end doesn't equate to the bolt shear loads or in addition the contact friction forces. Why is that?
