Default Roto start problem Help!

Well I went out today and spent a ass load of cash on some gas, cleaner, 2 12v batteries a 30 min charger and a roto start kit. Well everything was good until i went to go replace my broke pull start with the roto start back plate. It doesn't line the screws up what so ever. The back plate system for the roto start is like a tad small then the back plate of the engine so none of the screw holes lineup and after 190 dollars spent id really like too get this too work any suggestions or ideas to fix this>!

Final conclusion with this is im gonna try to ebay the roto kit and just get a pull start and take out the spacers for the fly wheel and buy a bump start with the money i get from the kit if it sells on ebay. If anyone needs or wants the kit ill **** it for 35 bucks via paypal!
