I had loose secondary mirror so had remove the corrector plate. I noticed that the baffel doen't not line up with the corrector plate secondary hole when looking though the baffel. This is not a shim issue. It about 1/4 offset! Any suggestions? Is there a way to square up tube or the baffel?

I am not sure how this happened it's not from removing the corrector plate.

Also, I found the index marks on back of the secondary. it suppose to line up with the primary mirror. I have located both. I noticed a V mark inside secondary perforation. It does not line up with primary or outer corrector plate index marks. What does this mark for if anything?
