Reseating an XL Dome after replacing band.

Is there an easy way to reseat the dome on the XL Egg? I got a new band assembly installed and the back of the dome has a slight gap, lessening around the sides and seated perfect in front. Ive tried a lot of things but when tightening the back brackets down it lifts the back end of the dome. I was thinking of loosening the band on the dome and sliding up farther to hopefully eliminate the issue, but I followed the instructions that came with the band kit, measuring the band-to-felt top at 1" on both the base and dome...(these instructions had my eyes start blurring over about step 6 due to the complexity of how they are written).
I thought maybe people had experienced this before and had a less complex way of getting this done.

I threw my instructions away somewhere around step 6 so I dont know. I ended up with a small gap but, it didnt hurt cooking or temp control.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

I've got the same problem with mine. Smoke pours out the back. Still easy to maintain constant temps and the food tastes as good as my well sealed lge.

Loosen everything ... The band, the hinges, and spring assist. Align the dome with the base the way you want it, and slowly tighten everything back up. That should do it.
