The bracket that is not bolted is on upside down.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I have the same problem when I tried to replace my Kouba Link with standard link. If anything it should have had more clearance.

Here's a fully functional rear linkage on my 96'

What it looks like to me is your yoke is not bolted in the correct spot, should be connected via the bolt right above it's current location and like Molly said those brackets on the side are upside down.
Note my year of bike does not have those brackets, I'm not sure if it like that from factory or if the previous owner took them off, the point is you my not need them.Image

The two holes go beside the engine case halves.

Look around the internet for some pictures.
