I agree with the suggestion of maybe a bevel up or down problem but I would also look at the length of the flints I was using. I've seen them too long that would actually try to stick along the lower part of the frizzen. Normally the geometry is very good with Siler locks and I'd look to your flint first for your solution. Experiment with placement of your flint in the jaws with spacers above or below and length of your flints to try to make a correction for a proper arc in relation to your frizzen. Chances are you won't need any other parts, just experimentation.
