Can you take a picture of what you're having trouble with? Your description is a bit confusing... but for what it's worth, the fan mount holes (25 or 30mm) are on the left side of the motor mount assembly, so you can point the fan at the motor endbell. Those holes are not even touched during the regular assembly, they're optional only for the fan. So I'm not sure what you're doing
