Default HOW-Where to drill to mount engine

Hello, gotten alot of help on building this plane, (thanks guys) need a little more now, Iam ready to layout and mount the engine, but I am confused as to placement,,Ihave a dle-55 that I am installing. But to be honest I am not sure of where to drill the holes, as compared to what is layed out on this firewall. The vertical line on the firewall is not centered at all, the hole in it is centered side to side, but ishigher on the firewall. I am kinda confused, this is the first Kit I have built from the start, I know there is a template for the dle-55 Iseen it online, do Iprint it out and completely center it on the firewall and drill,, do I use the hole as a reference, Is that centerline on the firewall important?, is it off center for a reason, or a screw up at the factory, DO Ineed to try and test fit the engine, and put the cowl on to try and locate where the holes go,, I just want to be sure before Idrill these holes,, Thanks for any advice fellas
