Exactly. Smaller diffs like the Slipperential need shimming. I may modify the front mount on the next batch for easier use(I have an idea to make fitting various diff sizes much easier), but the product as it is was meant to be "universal fit" - it doesn't fit any diff specifically, but should allow most every diff with proper shimming. I would suggest shiming both sides of the diff - about 1.5-2mm per side should center it up nicely. If you drill a new top plate hole, the mounting template would be null and void. :)
