Electric Trim Assembly - Misalignment?

I promise I really try to follow the directions....
1 3/8" from OUTBOARD EDGE OF "cover plate" to INBOARD EDGE (i.e. inside flange lip) of Z bracket? Why doesn't the servo arm line up center of the cut out?.... Is it the different model number of the servo that is now shipped in the kit has different measurements than what is presented in the DWG?.... What am I missing?

One option

Drill out the rivets , bend the brackets enough to correct the alinement, reassemble. Use clecos to hold it together until you get it tweaked just right .
 
I had the same issue. I ordered a new cover plate and adjusted the dimensions based on the misalignment of my first attempt. Never occurred to me to just try bending the brackets.
 
Thanks,
I've also ordered a new plate.
I was planning on shifting the brackets as well.
