Weird, they should line up just fine. Check you aren't doing something daft like mounting the drive the wrong way around or something. All holes on 3.5" hard disks are all standardised, and thus any drive should fit any mounting, and if it doesn't it's due to bad manufacturing on the part of the hard disk manufacturer. I for one have mounted no end of different drives in an SE/30 without issues.
Tell us what make the drive is and the model and maybe someone might be the wiser about it...
Damn I'm a dummy! Sorry i read ur post wrong! Yes the SE drive sled has mounting holes for a very early standard of 3.5" half-height (1.6") drive that is no longer used (it was phased out in manufacturing by the time the hard disks for the SE/30 were acquired). As a result you *will* most likely have to drill the plate to fit a a later drive, or retro-fit it with an SE/30 hard disk cradle.
