ASR-33 H-Plate

Aargh..... In the continuing quest to get my ASR-33 operational, it was discovered that the typing unit had shifted at some point and the h-plate connecting the typing unit back to the keyboard had popped out [I actually "found" it laying in the bottom of the case under the typing unit. Although the lever from the typing unit is spring loaded, I can not get the h-plate in. The connection levers are at different angles, preventing the h-plate from properly being inserted. Although I can move the levers a bit manually, I can not get them to rotate such that they are in the same plane. If anyone has any ideas, please contact me ASAP. I am pulling my hair out.
