TC Sportline rear strut

Just picked up a rear tc strut bar and having a hard time getting the anchors to line up with the suspension bolts. I sent it back and got a new set but they are still not lining up perfectly. My towers are in perfect condition, has anyone who got the tc rear strut ran into this issue?

Not by a whole bunch, I feel like I have to bend it in order for it to fit.

Here are some pictures.

Return it yet again and get your money back. Strut bars arent important, you arent even going to notice the extra stiffness, if that. Invest in something else for the car. Sorry dood!

OUCH man, that last pics shows that it is off by a large margin. I was going to suggest enlarging the holes, which might be doable on one side, but that other side

might be able to squeeze it in a large vice...gently/very slowly to not buckle it and if required enlarge the holes a bit..it may be doable...ebay crap...pay me now or pay me later with wasting your time fixing this crap as it's not worth sending back.
