Default Z1 Brake Master Cylinder Brace - Install Help

I'm struggling to get this brace to fit. Of the three bolts (that go where the plastic plugs were removed) I can get the outside two to thread in but then the middle pre-drilled hole is not even close to being lined up. I've tried putting the middle in first, but then it's impossible to thread in the bolt nearest to the fender. The bolts and threaded holes in the chassis are all fine and not stripped - it seems the middle pre-drilled hole is about 1/8" off.

Has anyone else struggled with this part? Could it be a manufacturing error? I'm hoping to hear back from Z1 about this soon, but thought I'd ask the forum to see what everyone else's experience has been and if anyone has a helpful tip or two. Thanks.
