Bed fasteners not lined up

I just received my MK2 upgrade kit. After I assembled it and was testing the printing I noticed that the print would not stick to the bed. After cleaning it and trying again it still failed. Upon closer inspection I realized that the screws on the y axis belt tension block were not screwed into the stand offs under the heat bed. I backed them out thinking they would align and screw in properly but this was not the case. I turns out that my stand offs do not all six align together. The four outer ones align fine but then the center ones do not, and if I align the center ones the outer ones are out of alignment. I "fixed" this by finding shorter screws that did not go all the way through the frame so the middle stand offs are sitting on the frame without being screwed on.
I am printing fine now, I just wanted to post this to see what people have to say. Thanks.

Do you have the center belt fixing the correct way around? It is quite easy to get it reversed. Either that or your Y belt alignment os off to one side.
