Calmed down & I got a bolt fairly easy with an awl lining up a hole and rest was fairly easy . Put a little oil on the bolts after wire brushing them & wiping off dirt............

For next time, there will be a next time 
Get a bolt that will thread into 1 of the holes that is a little longer than the factory bolts and cut the head off then cut a slot across it for a screw driver.
Now thread this into 1 if the holes now you can install the parts on the water pump using that bolt you made to line it all up and get the other bolts started.
Once you have the other 3 in use a sscrew driver to remove that bolt you made and install the last bolt.

Your method my work but I had pretty good luck with the awl . I was very careful not to hit the radiator , but the cardboard idea I will probably do with using the awl
