The positioning of this insert does not vary. There is only one place on the mold for it to be attached. There is a gap between the insert and the drivewell that will leave a depression or "hole" depending on the natural variability of the rotomolding process. This is not important as long as it bridges the leading edge of the drivewell to the hull. Actually, the brass itself is only important insofar as it acts as a magnet to draw additional plastic to this area. The melted plastic flows over this area and coats the brass, creating the bridge.
Yours looks perfectly normal. This is a structural insert, not a cosmetic piece. As you can see in your picture, it is centered under the nose of the drivewell right where it is supposed to be. The plastic formation around your insert looks quite substantial. I also examined an '09 Revolution and it looks very similar to yours.
If your boat has a leak, I suggest you follow Hobie's recommended procedure to locate the source. This may be found under "Frequently Asked Questions"
http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewforum.php?f=21. It is not difficult.
It is not unusual for kayaks to leak some small amount of water, including Hobies, depending on water conditions. Likely sources include rudder control openings, rudder up-down and directional control handles and hatch mounting or seal areas. If you have a more aggressive leak you may have a crack somewhere. If you do, see your dealer.
