looks all wrong to me ...mines fits no problem with only two mounting points

had one identical from ebays Strutbracer (after waiting a month). Mine didn't fit flush either until i club hammered the mounting points out a little to align with inner wing and strut top plate. Trial and error is best method. Dont drill anything until it sits flat on the top of the panel around the mounting.

hamming wont do cuz the hole physically wont fit over the raised mound for the strut top sorry not well up on the technical terms

if it dont fit and looks like it will never fit, send it back.
