Collective Pinballinfo wisdom needed.
Finally dropped my replacement playfield in my ToM resto. This replaces the original knackered PF.
Trouble is, that it doesn’t align correctly.
When you raise the PF and pull it forward to lock the hinge, the left one engages first and the right one then needs a good pull to lock it in place. Because of this, the PF is mis-aligned and the rear, right of the back-board at the back of the playfield drags down my newly painted cabinet.
There is no adjustment on the cabinet mounting brackets and the playfield hinges are located into T nuts so no play in these.
Can anyone suggest best way forward? Options include:

Can anyone suggest best way forward? Options include:
- Drilling larger screw holes in the hinge mechanism, so that it can be adjusted slightly to give some adjustment on one side.
- Shaving the backboard slightly to stop the dragging.
- New hinge (but as they are all the same, can’t see how this would help).
