DIY - you dont need to line up a sinker plate with the help of a dealer - do it yourself.
Dont be afraid to loosen the screws, even take them off altogether, to make sure that the sinker plate falls into position. Also bear in mind that screws dont last forever & new ones may need to be bought from a dealer. (dont even bother to try to find a screw from somewhere else - I went down that line & got nowhere)

Hello Riaz,
The sinker needs adjusting but it is not something that really can be done on line because several things need to be lined up, you may be best to find a knitting machine shop.
