I have mine in with only two bolts but I plan to remove it and slot the middle hole to make it fit eventually.

I thought about this but then the bolts wouldn't set into the recessed areas of the brace - they'd overlap and the heads wouldnt have equal pressure applied. I know the part doesn't take much lateral load if at all, but still, poor design of you ask me. It's seems all three holes need to be machined more thoughtfully to allow for extra play/positioning while installing.
