Dragon SS Gearbox Brace & Differential Brace help

Hi,
Just recently bought a Dragon Stainless Steal Gearbox Brace, Dragon Differential Brace and Dragon Stainless Steal Differential Bushes. Just fitted a new PPF and it all matches up including the side nut on the rear end of the car.

Now fitted the gearbox brace all fitted together easy all body mounting holes matched up perfect.

Now here’s my problem the rear Differential Brace fits on the PPF fine but the holes for the body mounting don’t match up there about half a centimetre out. Do you need to jack the Differential up to simulate the car on the road for the holes to line up? Because if the PPF was out and needed repositioning the rear side PPF bolt wouldn’t match up?

Or could it be that my Differential Bushes are old and warn and that I should fit the new SS ones in first? Or should I re-drill the body mounting holes on the rear Differential Brace?

Ill post some picks later on, is there any good links on how too's on installing Differential Bushes? Thought of two possible ways I could do it.

Any help would be great thanks, this one is doing my head in.

Loosen all of the PPF bolts a bit, loosen the diff mount bolts, and see if you can get it all to line up before tightening any of them.
