What year is the car? The 2012 and 2013 models have an asymmetric plate which is great for right hand drive but cannot move to the far forward position on the left hand drive models.
You will also notice that the bolts used have Loktite on them. Get more and use it wisely. Carry a small container with you on your travels along with duct tape and a minimum collection of hand tools.
You will be grateful that you did...
