I have always drilled the block out side the piano, and have never had a 
problem. As Brian said, if the block is tight against the plate, there is no 
way it can be wrong. 

Perhaps the problem some other have is when they put the block in the piano, 
and then put the plate in. When doing that, before attaching the block to the 
piano, the block needs to be attached to the plate. Then I make sure the 
plate is in the correct position. As part of this process I put a slow drying 
epoxy glue on the rim where the block sits. When I am sure the plate, with 
the block attached, is in the right place, I clamp the plate to the piano. 
After the epoxy has set up, usually overnight. I remove the plate and screw 
the block to the piano.
