This is the second LP RM2 where I have had the left post loosen. (left post looking down on atty with hole at the bottom) I can tighten it up with a pair of needle-nose pliers but then the hole is not aligned anymore. Is there any suggestions on a way that I can fix this?

Cliv3, I've had the same thing as well. I tried to tighten it all the way around so the holes were centered again and I broke the bottom of the post of in the metal base.
That's the only flaw IMO with the RM2.

yup.....that's what happened with the first one.
I'll just have to get me a couple more from Rob. They are a couple years old.....
I've seen instances in which a new Positive Post won't work. I've seen a new post end up in the same spot.
Do this::
Tighten the post, and then look at the Ceramic Deck. Observe the LIP around the post screw that is touching the ceramic deck. This is what's stopping it from tightening more.
After observing, I took my post screw out; held it with my fingers, and filed that lip down a little bit by using a metal needle file (a fingernail file MIGHT work. Don't know). Then, screwed it back in and stuck a paper clip through the hole (to get good leverage). Next, I used needle nose wire pliers to fully tighten the post around to where I wanted the hole. Took about 10 minutes. No more problems.
