Default Rear axle measurements

I know this is a bit of a strange question, but does anyone happen to know what the distance from center to center between the hole for the lower control arm and the hole for the axle damper on the passenger side is supposed to be? The reason that I ask is that when I went to install a set of aftermarket relocation brackets, the drivers side went on fine, but the passenger side had two issues. One was that the angle of the rear tab was wrong, causing hole misalignment for the axle damper, then upon closer inspection, the distance between the two previously mentioned side holes happened to be almost 1/4" too close. I want to make sure that the problem there is not my axle, and that both were actually manufacturing errors for the bracket.
Thank you for any assistance.

Hey, if you send a pic of exactly where you want me to measure I'll run a tape measure out on my car.

Picture has been attached. The dimension in question has been noted by a red question mark. The top, inboard hole is where the axle damper weight would be bolted if the car had come with them from the factory, which mine did not. Thanks for the help.

Mine is at 2" even. Mine also did not come factory with an axle damper weight.
