not enough time to call Soma but enough time to post. i'm not convinced. i've not had any experiences that point to soma as superhero level support people like iro, but I called them with questions and they were totally responsive and very helpful. but then i don't run a rear brake. I'm still having trouble seeing how the front brake hole could be off. if you said your fork was deformed or something I could follow, but since the fork has a crown I simply can't see how you would make that call without precise measurement.
