They are actually adjusted with a light hammer tap to tighten the rivets. John Monteleone adjusted the Grovers on my 1930 Gibson L-5 in just that way.

I'd just find some Waverly replacements, or even the current inexpensive Grovers. If the screw holes are not quite in line, I'd get a small needle file and enlarge the screw hole towards where it needs to be.

I had the exact L-7 as yours, but it was redundant, though prettier, next to the L-5.
