Anyway, if no one comes through with an easy solution you like, send me a PM with your email address so I can send you illustrations

I would rest it on a piece of wood running from top to bottom about the width of the pins and press down from the front with your thumb, one thumb on top of the other with as much force as you can. You can keep applying pressure to get it as far back into place as possible. You will only get one good shot at it. Don’t try and flex the wings etc as they’ll break. I wouldn’t use anything harder than your thumb. Even a piece of soft wood may mark it. I hope that makes sense. Lovely spange.
