Gold anodized aluminum scratch plates and fitting pickups

I know gold anodized plates can be divisive, so just to say I already have one, and I very much like it!  I bought it for my JV P (maple board, sunburst - classic).

Also on my JV P were some Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, but they don’t fit the aesthetic, and are a bit too “in yer face” (esp with the maple board), so I decided to swap them over with my bitsa pups, as I reasoned that they would sit better in a rosewood-boarded instrument.  Thank goodness for @KiOgon looms!

However, I can’t get the (temporary) squire pups that were in my bitsa in to the pup cutouts on the scratchplate.  The corners of the pup corners seem to be too sharp/square.

I’ve placed an order for some Tonerider pickups, and I’m really hoping they fit as-is - I really don’t want to start filing the plate.

Anyone else had issues with different pups in an anodized plate?
