I hope it won't cause the grips to crack later, under the force of recoil.

I've run in to this problem while modifying the CT grips. CT, Big Dog and Hogue all use a plastic block with threaded inserts to support the mainspring cup and to secure the retention screws. Sometimes these blocks can have a bit of flash on them which misaligns them just a bit in one direction or another.
With a bright light, you should be able to see through the screw hole which direction you need to move them to line up the threads with the screw hole in the grip. Just a bit of light file work to knock off the flash or allow a bit of movement in the frame "fingers" might be all you need. Try moving the block with an awl.
Best,
