Straighten your plastics after finding the correct posts. GREAT EM.

Quoted from Runbikeskilee:

Ron's observation would be one way of solving the issue.
However, neither of my 60's wedgeheads had the C-8174 High Caps (see diagram below from the Gottlieb 1968 parts catalog) on the slingshots.
It also appears your game may not have the correct A-8857 fastening screw with the thick platform head. That should raise your plastics by about 1/8".
Try either of those potential solutions.

I restored one of these, no screw posts and caps on mine, from the pics the jewel posts under the slings appear to the tall ones. Game is gone unfortunately.

Your old one looks fine but you can move the ring over if you can press rivets.
