That's what I figured. Some sort of template would be secured to the frame, the drilling accuracy (angle of entry) being dependent on operator skill.

I have a huge problem with a company letting such an obviously botched job pass "QA" inspection. Possibly the assembler knew the errors couldn't be detected by inspectors with the striker bracket installed! Then it reverts to individual accountability.
