Default Seagull Ultimate arrived, engine mount issue,,

good evening,

opened up the kit this afternoon, arrived complete and in pefect shape.
my issue/question is; the pre-drilled engine mount holes and nut-plates are not clocked at a true 12 and 6 position. the 4 hole pattern is layed-out at almost an 11 and 5 o'clock pattern, as viewed from the front. the manual shows it this exact way in some of it's pictures, but shows it sitting at true 90 degree angles to 12 o'clock also in other pics.
this current lay-out will throw off the pitts stlye exhaust when it's mounted and robbing me of a straight line for the throttle rod....
has anyone dealt with this.? if this is the correct and true lay-out, can you explain.? the engine mount box is true and square to the fuselage and making this 4 hole canted pattern very noticable.

the plane with all of it's bits and pieces is completely sweet, great quality and appearance, completely impressed,,, looking forward to jumping in getting it sorted out and together.
* i think the newly delivered .91 4 stroke is going to be too small for this hoss. just questioning the .91's ability to pull it along.

looking for guidance, thanks in adv,
