85 300D OM617

I removed the IP in order to replace a blown freeze plug. I replaced the IP gasket and followed the FSM to the letter. I rotated the engine to 15 degrees TDC and used the locking pin on the IP.

The IP went on without a hitch but the bracket on the bottom of the IP is sitting about an inch from where it's supposed to be (the bolts were missing when I started the project) and when I went to re-install hard lines, they were all off by an inch.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here? The bracket may have moved but the hard lines have me concerned... I mean, they are not even close. All three bolts that bold the IP to the engine are secured.
