Ceiling fan motor replacement

Our coach has a ceiling fan in the bedroom, which is nice when it’s warm:

But it has been squeaking when turning in the blowing down direction (but not when in reverse). I asked the Tiffin techs about it at the rally, and they said it’s a common issue, and the solution was to replace the motor. So I ordered a replacement:

I started the repair by removing the nut and washers holding the blades:

I then cut the wires to remove the old motor, dismounted the retaining cord, and attached the new motor:

Then I connected the wires, and mounted the new motor to the ceiling. But when I went to attach the cover, it turned out that the cover holes didn’t quite line up with those in the new motor:

So I used a couple of washers to adjust the position:
