That may be so but reading between the lines on the 4th paragraph I get the impression that there was a focus problem before the fitting of the bob's knobs.

That out of round shown in the pictures is only a minor problem. It will be fixed by the preliminary setting of the secondary by adjusting the knobs to get the outer circle round before attempting a star test.

However the first thing to do is get the corrector back in its correct position.

I suggest reading Thierry leGault's article on collimation before anyone makes a serious attempt at collimation.
