oil pan problem

Put in a new gasket, everythings fine, last bolt to put in, no hole, nothings there, solid metal. What did I do wrong? All the rest went right in.

yes, all came out, put in the correct way and everything, just have one bolt left and a hole to put it in, but solid metal on the other side.

did you tighten all the other bolt? The pan may be twisted so it's not quite lining up, try loosening the other bolts slightly to see if they line up at.
