Default Megahalems Mount Problem Screws to Big!

I just got all of the hardware in for a new build and started building.

I was installing the Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B and was at the last step of putting the aluminum bracket on then inserting the Spring loaded screws.

I ran into a huge problem though... The spring loaded screws are way to thick for the included aluminum bracket. When lowered into the aluminum bracket the threads wont' even come out the other side!!!!

It's so thick it won't come out the other side of the bracket or rest on the springs... What the heck?

Very angry at the moment because I have someone waiting to buy my current PC.

Did they give me the wrong screws or a bracket for an older Megahalems??

Should I just drill the bracket holes larger??

I have heard of this and yes I would open the holes up with a dremel or drill bit should work perfect after that.
