elevator fitting plates question

[HansLab]

Guys,
My elevator fitting plates are ready to be mounted. However, the little welded-on plates that could hold the fasteners have a total different angle than the plate itself!
See pic.
How did you guys cope? Modifying the welded-on's with hammer and wood, did you? Or am I mistaken and is the plate supposed to lean inwards (see pic)?? The manual isn't very clear on this one...

Any reaction will be highly appriciated

I gently bent mine with a pair of pliers with tape applied to jaws to protect the powder coat.

Yep, you were absolutely right. Thanks for the answers, sometimes the solution is so close you cannot see it...
Wonderful forum this is...
