How To Center an Axis Lock

Hey guys! Recently came into a BM 940-2, love the ugly girl but I can't for the life of me get the blade centered. Taken her down many times, fully cleaned and relubricated, put some loctite on the pivot, but I find there's a lot of side-to-side blade play when closed and the blad can actually end up resting against the G10. This didn't happen with my last axis lock, the HK Axis, that knife worked perfectly. Any tips? I'd rather not send her back to factory if I can.
 
I've never had need to do this myself. I've created a few franken-grips. I don't own a 940.
Having said this, I have read in another BM (possibly a griptilian) thread that this can be cured by loosening scale and barrel spacers screws. Get the blade to sit center on pivot screw. Followed by incrementally tightening scale and barrel spacers screws.
The thinking is the other screws are flexing the liners slightly causing the offset blade. Or you could send it to BM and let them fix it.
