This is  a question I should know the answer to but I don't. :-( Is there a 
way  to tilt the wippen so it will sit correctly on the capstan without 
disturbing  the jack tender/let-off button alignment? Considering the shape of the  
Steinway flange.

You need to visualize which way you want the wippen to tilt. There are  three 
ways to move the wippen. The first is moving the whole wippen from left to  
right, by repositioning the flange in the screw hole. Then you can  angle the 
front of the wippen to the right or left by adding traveling paper to  the 
whole length of the flange. Then you can tilt the top of the wippen from  left to 
right by adding traveling paper to only the bottom of the flange. To get  the 
wippen positioned correctly on the cushion and the jack tender, you  need to 
do a little of all three. 
 
Good luck
