Your not looking at the whole picture here. He said that the LE of the counterbalances are lining up with the LE of the stab and that leaves him with a mis alignment at the elevator root. Simply moving the clevis to line up the elevators at the root is not going to fix anything. The elevator/s have a twist. Look at the construction used, it should be a fairly easy solution to twist the elevator/s the opposite direction and re-shrink the covering to straiten them out as the twist was most likely introduced during the covering process in the first place.
