I drilled my holes without the trem block on the bridge
and its in the right spot only now with the block on the bridge it doesnt fit the trem cavity

the only routing type tool i have is a dremel and and im wondering if i should rout the trem cavity a bit bigger
the body is fined by the way
or if i should re dill the holes and then try and find a way around bad string placement

please help!

Find someone with a working knowledge of English to translate that for you.

... Ah, thank you...
Don't worry, Nando. It's a bit confusing to me too. Main thing..
Pics please. They're worth 1000 words in any language.
 
Depending on the style of bridge, you may not (aesthetically) want that big of a hole in your top.  Filling and drilling would be a better option but, are we talking about a finished body?

Pics would definitely be a big help.
 
it sounds to me like he lined up the bridge and drilled the holes. once he attached the block to the bridge he relized that the block either sits to far forward or to far back to allow the bridge to sit in the holes he drilled.

He would like to know if he should

A. route the trem hole bigger to allow room for the block
B. Fill and Drill the bridge screws in the right place.

at least that is what I get from this.
