One more thing, if you tightened the damper flange screws while you had it
out, the dampers may have moved and are now not seating in their old grooves
on the felt. If that is the case, may the force be with you.

Unless of course the pedal rod is ajar and is holding the dampers off the
strings just a tad. Check everything B4 bending wires.

Push the strings to ensure that the dampers follow. If they don't, that is
the signal to bend the damper wires. If they do, maybe it's the spring
tension?

I reinstalled an upright action, and now the strings ring.  Most of the
dampers are seated well.  Should I take the action out and bend the damper
wires?

Jonathan,
    More info required here.
    Did you replace the damper felt ?
    Did you regulate the action?
    Is the pedal out of adjustment?
    Are the spoons contacting the damper levers?
    Did the strings ring before you took the action out?
    Are you a piano technician?

    Respectfully, you are asking for a simple solution to a condition for
which there are many possible causes.
    I'm not bashing you here, but in my opinion your question tells me that
you may not understand the basic function of a vertical action .I'll suggest
acquiring the Journal on CD . You will find many fine articles on damper
regulation and replacement.
    Meet us halfway and you'll be off and running.
    Best of luck,
    Tom Driscoll RPT
