Hi jcmmgm

Reworking any template can be tricky,,, once you cut in to the template you can't repair it,,, without doing alot of work...

I would suggest to just put it to one side and do it like the link below, then the hole for the plate will be dead on...
But besure to use a PATTERN bit ,that's a bit with the bearing under the cutter...on the shank...
