I would cut the floor out, some dummy did at the factory in the wrong spot, and fit the pump and then make a new floor out of something to fit the pump.
 
Time to think outside the box!!!!
Use a 90 degree elbow! This works when the weight of the pump engages the hooks.

I think a 90° would work if we wanted to redirect straight out the side of the rig.

But it won't help with connecting a macerator mounted inside the bay adjacent to the sewer out. For that, we'll need a few inches of flex hose to bend the flow from the angled sewer out into the macerator installed immediately nearby.

Yeah, I bet the factory people very rarely get that stuff aligned just right. It's probably perfect looking on a paper diagram, but by the time humans stuff the tanks and pipes in there, any slight angle throws off the final alignment.

The factor probably figures it's acceptable for the use case of always grabbing a 20' stinky slinky and repeatedly cramming it up into the hole to manually connect every time you camp.

They aren't thinking through how it's not acceptable for those people who want to connect a macerator, although that's probably more of a recentish trend and probably was not as common a couple decades ago.
 
So if the outlet of the elbow exits aft there is not room for the maserator?? Bummer!!!
