The best thing to do is, completely take the bridle away.
You dont actually need it. Most of the better kiteboarders dont like bridles on their kites
Then simply, connect your lines directly to the kite.

Steve if you check Experimental Player's posts, you will see that he has a phobia about kites with bridles, which is why you should ignore his advice.
If your kite is new, you should easily be able to rig it from this user manual.

If that is not easy, maybe you need to talk to local kiters.
