Kickstand Keeps Moving

I have a 2009 Trek Soho (belt drive model) and tried to install a Pletscher Zoom kickstand. This is a single legged kickstand that has a mount almost identical to a Greenfield kickstand. Since the Soho has a kickstand mounting plate under the chainstays right behind the bottom bracket, I just used the short bolt that came with the kickstand that is for a mounting plate and bolted it to the the plate. The problem is no matter how much you tighten the bolt when you use the kickstand it will swivel at the plate mount and stick out from the chainstay and cause the crank to hit the kickstand. My other bike has a lip on the kickstand plate and that keeps the kickstand from rotating on the plate.

Does anyone know of an adapter that keeps the kickstand from moving on the mounting plate? I would really like to use this nice kickstand on this bike but as it currently mounts that is impossible. I have tried a lock washer and that did not stop the movement. Here is a link that shows the kickstand that I am trying to mount. http://www.thorusa.com/dahon/accessories/pletscher.htm Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
