Yeah it's pretty much centered.

YIKES! I dont think there is a fix for that other than cutting off
brazing on a new one and re powdercoating. Can you return/exchange it
to the vendor?

Is that a 20" or a 24"?

It's a 20", I think it's going back to UDC, i just wanted to check on
here first to make sure i wasn't being stupid. If mine's been
incorrectly made then presumably there's a whole batch of them out
there, check your Onzas people!

Wow dave, I didn't even notice! Thats a very long way off, its too far
up for even a 20" rim, so I can only assume that they used the 24"
measurements or the 24" jig to locate the mounts, without realising
that the frame was a 20". Return & replace the frame, Roger'll sort it
out. Before you send it, make a measurement of bearing holder to mount
distance, and we'll compare it to my onza 24" at christmas.

Loose.

Why do you want HS22's on a trials unicycle?

I'll bet they measured the brake location for a 20" BMX wheel rather
than the 19" trials wheel. A 19" trials rim is slightly smaller than a
20" BMX rim and that distance appears to be about the same as your
brake mounts are off-center.

The mounts arent measured for a 24" frame, right now i am riding my
trials with a 05 24"KH frame and the mounts are higher than that, the
bottom one is even with the tire.

Roger's reply to my email:

"The brake mounts on the Onza are a mystery for several reasons.
Firstly, As you can see they are not in the right place for the 19"
rim,
they appear to be designed to fit a 20" rim if fitted. Secondly, they

were not specified with them at all because brakes are not used on
trials unicycles..."

Now i beg to differ on the subject of trials brakes, but as the advert
on UDC's site does not imply in anyway that the Onza has brakes (either
in the description or the photo) then I suppose I can't complain about
the brakes that I have but which can't work.

For trials brake uses search, there was a thread a a few weeks ago.
