Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:Hi folks
Just about completing my playfield swap out on my kiss pinball Machine and I am trying to align the flippers, but this field does not have the divot built into it
I just wanna make sure it’s done correctly. Any ideas?

I never use divots. Just line them up with the inlane guide/wire.
Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:Okay so with rubber on use a ruler and do my best to line it up
That works. I just eye them both up, then lift them both and make sure they are uniform in the full up position.
That's some nice quality playfield.. 
When in doubt, check the flyer on older games, manual on modern, for pics to reference. not all games are designed to be aligned to the guides, though many are, and that's usually a safe bet if you can't find anything better

Thanks Zac !!
It was CPRs last screened Kiss field
(they were sold out but had one on hand not properly in inventory so I lucked out)
Okay I’ll take a look see what I find 
The flippers on these Ballys are not supposed to be aligned with the return inlanes unless you want to make hitting the side targets more difficult. Why would you want the sweet spot for the flippers to shoot up the middle of the playfield when there's nothing there to go for?
Without the divots you can use the snubbers for reference which will be pretty close. Align the back of the flippers to be parallel with the snubber wires.
I don't have a Kiss handy but Playboy gives a good example:

Snubber Wire is gone
No center divot from CPR
Did my best … happy with the results
Appreciate everyone’s help

Snubber holes are there to use as a reference.
