Jack, it would never have left Meriden that way. Even the Trojan had perfectly fitted floor plates when they were finished.
Did you notice if it was that way before you took it apart for the first time?
The only solution I can think of besides what has been suggested is to fit the floorplate in the frame with firm pressure on the foreward section, seat and tighten the two screws to their index position and then turn in and index the rear screw.... 'course, that's just common sense and you've probably already tried that.
