Antenna bracket

I have this antenna bracket that was packaged in 1969.
Trying to mount it to the tub. The holes in my tub had been filled in with lead. Looking at the side of the right rear panel I remove the lead from the two holes on the left edge where bracket would be placed. The holes on the tub have the same dimensions as on the bracket. When I place the bracket against the tub and make sure it is against rear panel too, the holes in the bracket relating to the tub holes are about 5/16" off. If I drilled new holes, they would be on the edge of the existing holes. either on the bracket or the tub.
I place a square on the side panel to rear panel, and it seems to be square.
I placed the square on the bracket and it is not square. So I'm thinking maybe if I bend it to square then maybe the holes will line up. I took a photo of the bracket with the square on it. Trying to decide what to do and make it work it.

hooking my tape on the bottom edge (where your square is) I measure 5 " and 8" to the bolt holes. mine is mounted so, I can't give you a diagonal off the base to the bend. maybe someone else has one to check.
maybe that helps

here Iam looking for that blueprint and Wes pops up with it :D
I knew I gave them to the right guy!!!

I checked the measurement of the holes on the side panel and they are as the prints show.
I'm gonna try to straighten this bracket a little and see if that helps.
Maybe tomorrow
