ports not matching from engine to intake

I have a glse 6 port engine that i plan on running in my bug. Bur I have a little bit of a problem. I recently bought a racing beat 6 port holly intake to put in this engine but the center two port are mismatched by almost 1/2in?

The ports on the intake match the gasket i have almost perfectly. So I came to the conclusion that the glse engine must have higher ports in the center than later engines? Is this right? What should i do about it run it like it is or epoxy the intake to match the engine?
