I was worried, looking at the angles in the template and other picture, that the motor is not placed properly. Maybe it's an optical illusion.

Since the gear is repositioned 90º from the arm, it would make sense that the motor would need to be 90º to maintain the same relationship. It's hard to tell but Colgad's looks correct.
the motor bracket is mounted at an angle because when you mount the regulator in the door the regulator plate that bolts to the door is at a slite upward angle . if i would have made the motor bracket 90 degrees to the regulator bracket the regulator would have ran out of teeth before the glass got all the way to the top
