Heat bed screws don't align

Hi guys, I'm almost done assembling my new printer. I got to the part where the heat bed must be attached to the Y-axis carrier, but I have a problem:
When I fasten the corner screws, the two middle screws (which also hold the belt holder in place underneath the carrier) don't align.
If I start by fastening the middle screws, the corner screws don't align.
The corner screws align up fine with each other.
The two middle screws also align fine with each other.
But corners and middle don't align.

Anyone had this problem and found a solution?

Re: Heat bed screws don't align

You probably have the carrier mounted the wrong way around.

Check the build manual, there is a marker dot on one side of the carrier and if it is not located the right way, then the screws do not align.
