Did you remove the Graeme as well? If not maybe it is preventing the spouts from screwing back in properly? I undid mine with multigrips with cloth to protect the finish, squeezed the Graeme lugs together to push it out, then tightened the spouts to just more than finger tight and they lined up perfectly.

It's metal-to-metal so I am not sure what might be causing the alignment issue. 2 things come to mind - something in the gap stopping a proper tightening or cross-threading.
Do they tighten past the correct position or don't quite reach it? Try using a stiff brush to clean in the threads of both parts. Maybe a washer as a spacer to stop the screw-in earlier to allow alignment?

Hey Journeyman,
They tighten past the correct position which is annoying - I put some plumbers tape in the grooves and it seems to have fixed the problem - hope it won't melt into the coffee!
Might have to look at getting a new portafilter!
