Default T3 Turbo Problem

What the hell. My turbo kit is completely installed but there is one thing holding it back. My discharge flange. I have a T-3 42/48 w/ 5 bolt pattern. I bought a flange from a local race shop. But the5bolt pattern of the flange i bought is smaller han the pattern on the turbo. And the flange i bought is for a standard T3. Does anybody know what T-3's are known to have a 5bolt pattern larger than the normal T3. Maybe chrysler or ford or something. Bought it new online but didnt say what it was off of. I assumed it was just a standard T3. Please help

Do you have pics?
Does the turbine inlet flange have an offset hole?

Also does the compressor inlet have bolt holes (2 or 3) or just a regular lip?

The compressor inlet has a lip on it (no bolt holes). And the T3 rectangular flange does NOT have an offset hole. They all line up correctly. If i cant find some kind of flange i have to get one custom made$$$$$
