    Hi Ben, no worries the forum is here to help and trying to give advice so you don't make the same mistakes I have made learning !
    that bridge plate is quite a bit shorter.
    You should be measuring front of nut to 12th fret should be about 313/314mm - half of 24.75" scale = 314mm.

    Wind the low E saddle as far forward as you can, it needs to be in the 317mm area to 12th fret, which I don't think you have the thread to go that far forward. Looks like the bridge plate will have to come forward at least 5mm, unless you can get longer saddle screws so the saddles are closer to the nut.
    High E string will need to be about 314mm from the 12th fret
