Interesting. Never heard about that. Millions of threads about Proofide and several referring to odd saddle shape but without suggestion on how to fix it.
I personally wouldn't have any idea about how prying the rails might have improved the fit. If you can explain in writing, please do!
(In my case, one wing was at least 1/4” lower than the other, the nose was slightly twisted and the cylindric part (1/3rd from the tip) was convex on of side, and concave on the other)
