Default Electric Aileron Trim Install question

I decided to make the most of my panel and install RA Elect aileron trim. I am building the bracket and had a question.

In the photo, the location of the WD-756 does not line up with the hole I have for the manual trim lever. Is that correct? The bracket will move down and those holes will match drill near the bend of the bracket, but the hole will not align with the center line of the bracket.

Thanks.

Just finished installing mine. You are doing it correct. The servo fastens to the side of the rib on the left died of the tunnel and that is the reason for the offset. Took me a few to figure it out also.

I did the same thing. Drilled the hole and installed the manual trim, then later picked up the electric trim. I have a nice hole in the seat pan, but the electric trim bracket nicely sits behind and fills it.
