Kryptonite bracket too short?

I bought a Kryptonite Keeper 12 a month or so ago, and didn't think I would need the receipt. Well, I went to install it today, and ran into a major snag?? The lock cylinder sticks out too far
to clear the frame tube, when you try to put the lock into the frame bracket? The only thing I can think is that someone in quality control was fast asleep when these locks went out the door. You
can make it clear by mounting the bracket at an angle, but it looks worse than the bracket alone. WTH?? What do I do now? I imagine the locking mechanism was redesigned longer, and they forgot to check if it actually works? I guess I'm going to have to bring my backpack every time I go somewhere I need to lock the bike?,,,,BD

If only the sliding latch could be relocated to the non lock side.... It's a slide on thing with a clamp, so the only way would be to go around the U. AKA: Impossible....
