The dims on the flange seem to be off a little

The Dim for the location of the hole that is .344 is good! If I
mirror that dim for the other side and make it .344 the holes
are further apart can you clarify this for me? do you want
it closer to the edge or closer to the center? The side with
the .344 dim is closer to the center the other side you have
dimed at 3.173 is closer to the edge at .327

Could be a mistake in the drawing. The idea is the flange and the
plate share bolt holes. Here are the two parts superimposed on
each other.

The exact position of the hole pattern in the
square flange blank is irrelevant. You can drill the holes
in the plates first, cut the 2 inch round hole in the center
of the flange material, use a section of round tube to align them
and then use them as a pattern to match drill the holes in the flange.

I'll be uploading more 3Ds shortly to make all this
more clear.
