Default Tank Baffle Centering?

I just did the Z-bracket installation per the Checkoways method. Way easier.

One issue is that when I pulled the skin from the baffle so I could drill out the other rivet holes, the baffle is offset from sitting center over the spar on the top side by about 3/32.

I had clecoed the skin to the spar, so I assumed it was centered up.

Any idea why this would have happened? Anyone else have it happen? And is the solution to replace the 2 end brackets that are the ones holding it in place?

(thankfully I haven't drilled the other 5 yet)

Thanks.
