Cam belt replacement

I am installing on a 93jetta ABA a new cam belt among other parts. Setting the timing marks I discovered the distributor has one of the two alignment pins broken off and the mounting bolt is a standard type hold down clamp. QUESTION Should I position the distributor so as the alignment pins stradle the bolt hole equally on each side and should I try and get the propper hold down bolt. I am in Mexico and parts can be tricky to buy. Thanks for any thoughts on this. Dale
