Need Help With XT-10 On a Stroboframe bracket. Tripod screw off center

Even the cheap, Chinese, ebay-special, l-brackets will move the tripod mount to the center (at least mine does, and so all the others I've seen).

 

Alternatively, if you're handy with a drill you could buy a drill bit like the one I used in the link below (second picture in the post, first drill bit from the right, around 5€ for a set of three) and use it to drill a hole of the appropriate size on your Stroboframe bracket. This bits chew through metal like it was butter.

 

Even with a battery operated drill it shouldn't take more than a minute. Just be careful to not let the bit overheat; to avoid ruining it, pour a few drops of water on the hole-in-progress every time the water evaporates. And wear a cheap 0.2€ paper mask: it's not safe to breathe aluminum!
