Default Changing front brake cables FLHTC

Changing the front brake cables on a 2012 Ultra Classic without ABS. Bought a kit to go on new apes and when I got down to the T-junction the new junction block would not line up with the mount bolt and the alignment tab. If sitting on the bike the tab is at about 10 o'clock. The stock t-block caught this tab and set the inlet and caliper ports correctly......the new block has a hole for the alignment pin but it is directly inline with the inlet port which turns the entire block to 10 o'clock and has my caliper ports shooting almost straight out above the fender.

Why does harley have this alignment pin off-center. I'm not seeing any after market junction blocks that will fit this odd setup.

Please, tell me I'm being stupid and there are solutions out thar everywhere!

Found a solution for this in another forum. Just have to "pull" it out or grind it off. Good luck....I had to resort to the dremel.
