Re: shock problem

I definitely wouldn't modify the brackets if there was a quick/easy solution.

As @RustyPile mentioned, I would be verifying the parts you received as being correct as my first step.

That being said, depending on the OD of the bolt & the ID of the eye 'sleeve' on the new shock, you might be able to source a spacer/shim to allow using the bolt you have.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
