Baldwin Action Problem

Dear List:
    I have a problem with some Baldwin large upright pianos that are
new.  The type of action brackets Baldwin uses are secured with bolts
into the plate.  When I remove the screws to service the action, I can't
get the screws back into their holes.  The action bracket hole is about
1/8" too high.  Should I lower the support studs (they are adjustable up
and down) or will I make more problems for myself?  I tried lowering the
studs, and now all the capstans need readjustment.  Is there a better
way to get those screws back in?  I'll be returning to the piano Monday
afternoon.  Thanks for any input.
