Not sure if they are the same pitch but mostly are

Or if the ones you have are beveled can you take a larger drill bit and open up the top of the holes so they seat flush with the case

Im sure someone knows
I like the high bars myself
looks like a lot of body weight leaning too far forward with the low bars
