Major oops!

A couple of our install crew members put some 3" tall flat cut aluminum stud mount letters in a brick wall and it's off center by about 7 inches. :banghead: No one noticed until they installed plaques underneath the lettering. :frustrated:Most of the studs are in the bricks, but most of the bottom row of studs are in the mortar line. :banghead:

Any suggestions on the best way to fix this major f-up? For the holes in the bricks I'm thinking of filling with Rockite, then mixing a paste of clear silicone and the brick dust from the new holes to try and hide the holes from the previous drill, but I don't know how well that will work. Not sure what to do to hide the holes in the mortar. Any suggestions appreciated?

sucks! Mistakes happen. Luckily the brick and mortar are rustic looking. I would think the local hardware store would have some premixed mortar type caulk you could buy then just add the dust on top so it matches?
