Doesn't look normal to me Al. my plate has no dimples so never seen that before, but you'd think it was the wrong way around. But the dimples too widely spaced to line up with the screws so I don't know what they're for. Maybe try just centering the plate under the three screws and see where you end up.
Your secondary looks miles out. Should be centered under focuser drawtube as the other forum guy indicates.
Also, just a suggestion maybe start new thread with name like "secondary mirror collimation offset problem, help needed" as then this will alert many of the experienced guys on this site of your problem. (your current title maybe not asking for the help you want)
Cheers, Richard
