Sliding nuts in the wrong channels!

Anyone else receive their Y-axis piece with the sliding nuts in the wrong channels? Waiting for a response from Prusa but it looks like it will need to be disassembled to get them in the right channels. I hope I don't have to do that as I'm worried it will ever be perfectly square again.

 

PS. Wow I've never seen a forum that makes it so farking hard to attach a pic... I give up!!!!

Was able to talk to a Prusa rep and was told to go ahead and fix it by loosening the belt and taking one end off. I did it a slightly different way. I took all 4 mounting screws off the side rail that had the sliding nuts in it. Then was able to wiggle it over far enough to slide the nuts out. Wiggled it back into place and put the mounting screws back in. Then did the same to the other rail to put the nuts in. As that rail has the LCD mounting tab it was a little harder but was able to wiggle the back end out far enough to slid those nuts into the channels. That way I never loosened the belt and neither rail was ever completely removed. Everything seems square and tight still. 

Hopefully no one else has this issue but it was actually an easy fix in the end. I just didn't wan't to start taking things apart until Prusa said to go ahead.

there is no risk that the frame is not square afterwards. i did a full teardown and reasembled it and it prints fine. the frame aligns itselfe.
