Have you tried swapping the nuts to different bolts?
If, after finding nearest fit, a couple do not quite align at acceptable
torque, rubbing the nut a couple of strokes on abrasive paper can give the
additional turn needed.
Shims could be used, but they would be tiny pieces of metal, the integrity
of which could not be seen once nuts are torqued, inside the engine.

Subject: [Mgs] loctite question
Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2013 22:06:23 -0600
Anyone use red loctite instead of mechanical fasteners on main cap nuts? I
have an MPJG engine from a TA when I torque down the mains, the holes don't
line up to the castle nuts for the wire. I don't want to over torque and if
I back them up to match the hole, I loose my torque.
Suggestions?
