heater bed mounting holes not aligned

I have an issue with the y carriage centre holes not aligning with the heater bed, the heater bed nuts are off by approx 0.75mm. The four corner holes are fine, but at the moment I have no way of locking the y belt holder down to the carriage, its basically being held by tension and the fact the belt stops the screws falling out!

And yes the bed is on the right way round.
The image is rotated, the top is actually on the right.

There is a note in the assembly instructions that the dot must be in a specific place. Did you note that small dot?

I think that makes a difference to the lining up of the heat bed 😉

That was the problem, everything lines up and solid now, re-running calibration. Thanks ben.b
