another option is to skip the holes.
instead, file off the little nubs with a dremil or similar. then line the placement up on the bars. finally, wrap a couple turns of griptape. presto! done..
i realize this is not for everyone, but it does work

assemble everything loose, mark where the holes need to go, then get a center punch to mark your holes. The center punch will also help make sure the drill bit doesn't wander. You can then drill a 'pilot' hole, then move to your proper drill bit diameter.

hmmmm, I may need to look into this grip tape thing. I'd like to rotate my stuff a wee bit more fwd, but I don't feel like elongating the holes.

electrical tape also works just fine. it's nice and soft, so the plastic digs in.
