Default How to layout mount dle-55

Hello, I posted this question in the kit forum, and another member suggested I put it here in the arf forum,, Ihave a nitroplanes ultimate 50cc and am putting a DLE-55 in it but have a few questions about exactly where to drill and mount the engine.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 is higher 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 I seen it online, do I print 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, In the one pic you can see that the firewall appears to have the right thrust already built in to it,,
DO I need 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 I drill these holes,, Thanks for any clarity you can give me on this matter
