These will be tricky as the hole you drill for these are small with nothing to cover it up after, compared to a starpost which affords you some wiggle room. Depending on how far over you need to relocate can determine how hard it will be to drill. You won’t want the existing dimple to guide your but back to the wrong location. You could use a pointy dremmel bit and make a new dimple maybe. I use an automatic center punch to mark new holes but i remove clear first so i don’t risk forming a crack.

I drilled mine tight at first for a friction fit but the size was too tight for my likely (cant recall diameter). So i drilled the next size up, dipped the end of the wire guide into Titebond III (or just use some decent wood glue) and set them to the right height. They are solid.

The only thing will be to make sure the ball properly activates the roll over switch when it passes over. You do have a bit of play side to side when you installed the rollover too, but i wouldnt want it rubbing against the side of the slot. I dont think 1/8” will result in it not triggering the switch but worth verifying this.
