Default uuuummmm strange one..help

right then, bought a chrome cambelt cover for my s2, I know its a rs turbo one as it has it engraved on it...

but it dont fit

everything lines up but the standard bolts are too short, the guy I bought it off on rsoc had it on an erst.
when you put it against the standard one they look identical, but the bolt is too short to catch the threaded holes on the block.

do I need diff bolts or am I just being a spastic?

cheers
