Default Sway Bar Sub Frame Mounting Bracket Bent?

Hey guys, i'm trying to reinstall my whiteline sway after greasing the bushings and i'm having a hard time putting the brackets back on. The holes are not lining up and after taking the bracket and bushing off the sway bar, I can see that the holes in the subframe bracket coming off the car are not in line with each other vertically. Is it common for this piece to get bent and can I buy another one?

Thanks for any help

Here is a photo of the bracket coming off the car where the front swaybar mounts. You can see how the lower hole is slightly to the right of the upper hole. I can't get the swaybar bracket bolted onto this because of the misaligned holes.

Are you sure you don't have swaybar upside down?

I'm pretty sure. I'll double check.

I have the swaybar in the right way so I don't know why the mount is giving me such a hard time.
