I didn't have the problem you described. The holes were definitely more
centrally located on the joint plate than you're describing. Here are
links to a couple of photos on my web site that may be helpful. It
sounds like you may not have located the joint plate correctly before
you started drilling the holes.

In respect to the tank dimple dies, be sure when you'r through with them to
mark or store them where you won't confuse them with you regular dies. Don't
ask why I'm giving this tip.
