Sunroof alighting both sides

Sorry for double posting I just thought that this might me easier to find for most people who also have this problem and I want to get it fixed faster.
So the problem is when you align one side according to the manual the other side is not aligned correctly. I tried removing the sunroof motor and slcm to move the mechanism on one side but it's pretty immobile.
My questing is how and with what tool should I force the mechanism into position?

There should be nothing in the way except friction. What’s not clear to me is what you did with the small/rear interior panel that moves with the sliding mechanism. Removing it with the sunroof in the car should be very difficult unless something is broken.
I ask about that because if it’s still in the car then having the two sides out of alignment will mean that it is applying a load to each side. You might have to move the aligned side closer to the stuck side and try moving each a little at a time. If you did manage to get the small interior panel out then there should be nothing linking the two sides together and all you are fighting is friction.

As for moving only one side of the mechanism it was pretty easy I was just pushing on the wrong part. Now both side are perfectly aligned so hopefully nothing will break for a while.

To get the interior panel back in I believe you will need to put the drain channel supports on it and then slide it in from the back. This needs to be done very carefully and the metal spring loaded arm will need to be pushed to engage it into the channel support once you get everything close enough to do so. You might want to check out my thread on some improvements I made while rebuilding the whole thing. Most notably you may want the small stainless steel parts I used to keep that spring loaded arm in place.
Out of curiosity, where did you find replacement channel supports?
