Default V&H SS Install help

So I need some help. I tried installing my exhaust today and I'm having trouble lining up the new bracket with the exhaust. It seems like the two holes used to attach the exhaust to the bracket don't line up. What am I doing wrong? Also, do you install the heatshield before you mount the pipes or after? Thanks for your help!

A little more info might help you get an answer, what bike do you have and which V&H exhaust are you trying to install?? A pic might also help.... I always install the shields after mounting the pipes.
