You probably will need an adapter plate of some sort... just allow it to be moved at different mounting points..
E.g. my plate (attached) will have 6 holes (red) drilled in the outside for bolts, this will allow it to attach to my pier plate and a 7th hole(green) for the mount peg. I will align the peg hole to south including magnetic deviation as accurately as possible.
the attachment bolts will be drilled about 30 degrees either side of the peg hole.
6 bolts are 60 degrees seperate.
The end result is the adapter plate will be aligned for south, where as the pier can be facing anyway as long as the holes match up.
Also i am sick atm so my explanation might not make sence
