Default tubular k member fitment problems?!?

ok so i bought a racecraft tubular k member from someone and i go to install it in my 91 and it dosent line up correct. i was able to get the 4 long bolts in and the drivers side short bolts but when i went to install the 2 small bolts on the passenger side the wholes in the frame and the wholes in the k member dont line up. also it looks crooked i put a level on the two front steering rack studs and its way off. any suggestions on what i can do i dont want to hone out the holes in the k member.

either the k-member is tweaked or if your car was ever wrecked in the front that'd throw things off.
