I swear to god that I have warned people about this exact thing - but its been a while since I installed a Mastery...

An hour setting up and intonating.... put the stuff away and took a look down.....

I forgot that you have to keep forward pressure on the saddle when intonating. I think one may still not be flush...sigh...

Do you adjust those with plyers or something?

The bolt heads are sitting away from the plate edge (i.e. they could slip forward and move the saddles). Kind of ironic given the point of the Mastery … !

Lol - No. I bought this one second hand and it looks like the original owner may have done something like that. Which is weird since it came with all of the wrenches

Yeah - Basically turn the screw and it moves away from the bridge instead of moving the saddle. I have had this happen before which is why i think about it but for some reason it did not occur to me that it was happening when I installed this one.
