Ha! I¡¯m in the exact same boat.?
Just throwing this out there - but what about adding a shim plate to the strut support arm on the left to move it just left enough to allow the holes to align? ?The assembly is held together with screws. The gas strut would be slightly askew but I don¡¯t think it matters. I¡¯d really concerned about it you could reposition the lower bracket for the strut.?
Thoughts?
