Question:
Trying to install my hitch and the side mounting holes to the frame do not line up on either side of the vehicle. I can only get 1 bolt in as the side brackets appear to be twisted

There are some occasions where the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11419 for your 2018 Kia Soul can become twisted/flexed during shipping. The good news is because this is made from a mild steel it can be flexed back to the correct shape allowing you to install it on your Soul. I have linked our help article below which will help you through the process of flexing it back and installing on your Kia. The help article includes images which make it much easier to understand rather than trying to just explain it.
