Need crossmember help

I have a 63 frame c10. I bought an 85 donor crossmember and rebuilt it. Today I am mating the two and all the bolts align nicely except one on each perch. There is a predrilled dot in the correct location like the manufacturer had that choice but put it an inch over instead. Should I still a new hole in the frame or the control arm "perch" thanks

Common issue with the swap. I drilled the new hole in the frame.

Yes you will need to drill one hole on each side and elongate one hole on each side.
