Default Mounting Kappas & Metra 82-9601 Adapters Problem?

Hi Guys, First Off I would like to give a huge shout out to Gan and all the rest of the guys on this forum for all your help and expertise!!

My ? is has anyone thats running the Kappa 62.II's and a set of Metras 82-9601 speaker adapter rings had a problem with the elongated mounting holes on the speakers not lining up with the mounting holes of the Metra adapter rings?? Im trying to use the the center holes of the adapter but the holes of the speaker will not line up for the life of me I dont get it? I then tried to see if they would line up with any of the other holes of the adapter and no such luck?? Anyone have any experience with this and or any suggestions?? Thanks so much!!

The Metra speaker adapters themselves only go in a batwing one way. Its about the Kappa speaker holes not lining up with the adapters?
