You could drill the correct hole and use shorter bolts. The choice is yours whether to send it back, or fix it.

It is from thmotorsports so it was shipped directy from avid, I spoke to frainklin at avid about it, and he's goof to work with me to get the issue fixed, I sent him some pictures of it and he's gonna let me know where to go from there, the bar is a really good piece or work it looks like, and their customer service is awesome, so I'll see where it goes from there

Alright. I'm guessing it was either a flawed bar or the incorrect one. Glad to see they are helping out.
