Need Help Please - Step Bars

[Pre-Runner]

Hopefully I'm not gonna smash my head. Here is the deal.
Mom has 2003 Explorer Sport. Didn't have steps. Has driven me crazy to get
her a set. Got set off of eBay. They were listed for 98-01. Looked at several they all looked the same ( I know should have known better).

Brackets are not lining up.

Is this possible or am I SOL.
( If so anyone wanna buy a set of near perfect step bars for a 98-01 Exlporer Sport? )

THANKS FOR ANY/ALL HELP IN ADVANCE!

Uhh....well lets see....Oh yeah... figured it out...screw Ford's cheap way of mounting...used the factory brackets and went three steps better... now the 300lbs lard butts at the car wash could even stand on the things... so gee never mind
