FYSA - if you use this (style) mount, the outer 2" of the plate can bend back slightly (from the mounting screws outward). My plate has bent about 5* on the sides. I'm pretty sure the plate deformation can be mitigated if you use a plate frame (yuck) or other material to support the most outer edges of the plate. Personally, I don't care because I'm not one to run plate frames and have company names plastered all over the car.
Just finished installing mine, had the same issue, so I got two washers, drilled them a little wider, and it fixed the issue.

So I got this same thing for my 18 wrx but when i tightened it down it was seated back so far that I couldn’t put the plate mount on?
Yeah same here like it’s shorter or something
