The trimmers DO NOT all mount the same way! You must look at the assembly
instructions for the KFL1_4 board, and take note of how the trimmers mount.
On my manual, it's page 17. Compare the drawing with the trimmers you have,
to determine the proper orientation of each, once you know which side on
yours corresponds to the "flat" side in the drawing. Again, you need to
determine which side of the cap is connected to the center adjustment screw.
That is the side you want to be grounded. Compare that with the board, and
see if that corresponds to the "flat" side on the original trimmers, or the
other side. I don't have a board here to check. Once you know how your
trimmers compare to the original ones pictured in the (fig 11), you can then
orient all your trimmers accordingly.

Sorry for the mis-information in my original reply, and good luck,
