Its a breeze to fix. Simply drill the angled flange around the product in the required positions to receive wood screws, hold up the product in position then mark the masonry with a scribe. Drill holes to receive wood screw plugs, fit the plugs and screw the canopy up to the wall. A bead of mastic under the flange will seal it to the wall, or for a more permanent seal you can fit a lead flashing.
