You wouldn't need to file on the square hole side with the bolt head; just the thread side hole. Those jacks are so long, you wouldn't need to remove much metal to get 1-1/2" at the bottom.
The holes in the brackets are round and the ones in the swing out are square. The bolts are round with square shoulders, and roughly 1/16" of the square shoulder engages with the round hole to keep it centered.
If I remove (file) the 1/16" shoulder, I could use the excess tolerance in the round hole. If I used round bolts, I'd have the tolerance of both the round and square holes, but I'm reluctant to replace HJ's bolts without knowing their capacity. I suppose that's the next call.
