nothin you've done wrong... but take a look at the back block (when removed)... the threaded bit is secured to the actual block with an internal nut, so it can be indexed. It's probably come loose and allowed the threaded section to rotate, buggering up the indexing.
Tighten than nut (a bit, not fully), screw the block in, make a note of how many degrees of rotational adjustment you need, take it apart, adjust. Repeat as necesary. Mark it to guard against unplanned movement during test fitting. There should be a "gripping washer" like a aggressive star washer, but bigger, between the threaded section and the actual block. Once you are certain on alignment, that threaded section can be threadlocked in place to the block.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
You just need to remember that once that nut has been undone that you need to make sure that it's threadlocked as if it's done up and it comes loose you'll struggle to get it back undone as the back block will just spin and not come undone, I had that problem with a Challenger.

If not fixing it properly, I'd go with a wrap of copper wire to space it out instead.. much easier/quicker, the wire will conform / squash and bite nicely, it can be fine tuned with different thicknesses, and it's reversible. As a bonus you also gain a fraction of a mm more stroke

How far out in degrees,has the threaded portion of the back block moved?

I honestly wouldn't worry about it, a few of mine have a small gap between the back block and cylinder, as long as the trigger guard part is lined up with the stock cut out and cocking slot, then there shouldn't be a problem.
