Speedplay base plate on Shimano S-Phyre shoes fitment issue

Has anyone else paired up Speedplays with Shimano’s S-Phyre R903 shoes? I had to take a dremel to the Speedplay 3 bolt baseplate adapter as the distance between the two lower bolt holes was much wider than the distance of the threaded holes on the shoe itself. This was quite a delicate act as I had to carve out enough wiggle room for the screw while still have some material for the screw to cinch down on to.

I use speedplay with the s-phyre shoes, but I use the aluminum base plate adapter, not the plastic ones. I have not had trouble with the holes lining up, the baseplates I use are quite old now but I believe you can still find them some places online.
