Distance between holes on both parts is not the same.
Some dimensions are wrong.
 
Maybe try using the datums to prevent rotation.
Then check the PCD as Ivan suggested.
 
Just an idea...
Regardless of the PCD, the first constraint should have applied correctly. If the issue appears when the second constraint is added, it may just need to be reversed. If it is the PCD, then that issue must be corrected before constraining.

I knew I should have 'copyrighted' the valve assembly back in 1983 when I modeled it the first time using Unisolids ;-)
