Default Head gasket issue

Well, i was in the process of fixing my head gasket when i realized that my fel pro head gasket doesn't fit properly. 8 of the 10 holes for the head bolts line up, except for the two on the outer corners near the intake manifold. So, i was wondering if anyone has had this problem before and what gaskets fix properly. I should have just gotten an oem honda gasket

almost forgot. i have a 1990 civic dx with a d15b2. On the package it says that it is for a d15b2, but its not. I also lined it up with a cheap generic gasket ive have for a while and it is exactly the same.
