I have toured the the Celestron factory in Torrance a few times and know they
both index and centre the corrector plate. You really needed to scribe-mark the edge of the corrector during the removal process...but what's done is done.

At this stage you might as well pull the secondary off the corrector and try your hand at applying a pitch lap and polishing rouge. I suspect the AR coatings have perished anyway, so nothing to lose by removing them.

Polishing may affect the catenery curve of the corrector, but meh... at least it will look pretty again.
