What happens here

The user dry fits the entire plumbing assembly. He measures and cuts copper pipes for the shower riser and the connections from the valve to the tub spout. He discovers his initial measurements were incorrect because they didn't account for the new support board, so he removes the assembly, re-measures, and cuts new copper pipes for the hot and cold lines.

That looks good. Now you don't need to get this bad with it. We're gonna measure bottom of the valve. We're gonna put this right here in the center of the hole. Grab a stick of type L copper. So I've got a street 90 up here going into a wing del sideways and that is going to work for this. That's how much it's off. Yeah, it should be fine.
