   pop the caps off with a tiny screw driver and unscrew you can then eitha drill new holes for self tappers or bin the old plates and get a new one with some sticky foam tape looks cleaner ans saves drilling holes.

   Under the caps are screws that pass through the plate and in to the bootlid.
   To re align it unscrew it. Drill new holes level in to the boot and refit thd plates
   i prefer to use sticky pads to locate my plates

   Sounds as if sticky plates are the best way forward. I don't really want to drill new holes into my car.

    Loads of places do plates for you. nd therefore as its a plate maker, they should sell the pads too
