Default Rear Caliper Help

Ok, so my chain was getting old and worn so I did the sensible thing... Replaced the Chain / Sprockets on my own. Well taking them off was not a problem, nor was putting them on.

The problem comes when I try to remount my rear caliper. The bottom alignment bolt hole will not align with the caliper mount... The swingarm is in the way. I have got it on there before but... I had to do so at the expense of EXTREME misalignment.

One thing that I am thinking of... the wheel collars , are they side dependent? or am I just doing something stupid?

I'll post a pic in a min to give a better idea of what is going on.

SO FRUSTRATING though... after I get the wheel aligned and everything!
