Using a small bubble level, I was able to determine that the leaf might be twisted. The leaf is close to level at the mounting screw while the end at the elevation adjusting screw is more tipped. (I did deburr the thread holes which needed it after removing the scope mount.)

I could try unscrewing the elevation screw from the square nut, turning the nut 90 or 180 and then tighten the elevation again to see if the nut was the problem. I'd check for a burr in the slot at the same time.

If the blade is twisted, do you think it would be OK to unscrew the elevation screw from the nut, and twist the blade until the sight end is horizontal? I'm concerned maybe the mounting screw can't take that much force.
