Is there a procedure how to align a swivel stud such that you can attach a bipod to it without over torquing things to get the holes in the right orientation? I have a new chassis and every time I try to attach the stud I find that it doesn't align properly and I would have to over torque it by half a turn or 3/4 turn to get things to line up. I tried several times starting it in different orientations but no luck.
