Apparently this is pretty typical. I was complaining to my A&P friend and he said that even on the certified planes that this was the usual (mis)fit. I was trying to do the mounting by myself but finally gave up and got some help. That made it somewhat easier.

Hey Matthew,
Ours was a very close fit. Three holes
perfect, the last hole with minimal persuasion. I think I'd give Van's a
call first before chasing the holes and get their opinion about bending the
mount to fit the holes.
Later, - Lew

It's all about quality control.... if they have the proper jigs, and they weld in the appropriate steps, it should be within pretty close tolerances. Van's should make up an acceptance jig to ck the motor mounts prior to shipping.... depends on whether they're doing them, or they out-source them. If it's out by as much as you say, I'd send it back in the hopes that the next one is better.
