Sn superjet xmetal pole bracket fitment

I bought a 90 superjet couple months ago.




Started with ripping out the bad red turf and putting in some black. First time I've put turf in a ski.




After taking it out couple times found a big crack in stock pole which goes almost all the way around.

Bought the xmetal pole and steering.

Looks like there was a similar bracket on before as there are holes already drilled that match.
The backing plate hits a hump where mounts to hull and causes it to not be flat against the hull.



Does that hump need to be clearenced so it fits flat? or just bolt the backing plate to it.
