Funny thing was, the screws were tightened down, the end bracket had "caught" on a bit of the frame and not all the way down although I thought it was at the time! It was the end of a long day and found the problem the next day....I had to chisel out the splinter of frame that was sticking out. Haven't quite figured out how that happened...Anyway...all better :>) Now...back to re-regulating!
