Does the location of bolt in saddles impacts the design of saddle (i.e, if I move the bolts symmetrically far away form the saddle center-plane, that goes through the axis of vessel).

More likely, I am in need to keep 2-bolts-per-saddle on each end of saddle, inline with web plate. On selecting 2-bolts-per-saddle, COMPRESS keeps those bolts in the middle of saddle, one on left and other on right of the web plate. I need those bolts inline with web plate, each on two ends of web plate (as shown below).
