Default Vance and Hines Staggered Short Shots Question..

So I recently just purchased the exhaust system on amazon for my 2016 forty eight sportster.

I've ran into a issue during the install process. The mounting bracket that was in the box with the exhaust doesn't line up properly for my bike. Now the only solution I have is to send it back or I can make the bracket work with my set up.

The only real concern I have is what would the difference be between the other staggered short shots, are all the pipes the same and is the bracket the only thing that is different for certain bikes? I can work with the bracket but if the exhaust is completely different I need to return the whole thing and get the right one.

If I could get some feedback from others who have the set up that would be great, thanks.
