Hole in Square does not match Picture

Hole in Square does not match Picture
I bought this due to the location of the hole for hanging. As you can see, the whole has been moved near the 2 inch mark on the shorter side of the square when comparing it to the pictures provided for the product. Works just fine, but will need to go to a box store to ensure I get exactly what I need know.
