BG motors shifted position over time?

[aspacecephalopod]

Hi all,

Just curious if anyone has run into this bug before-I have two of these planes landed on Laythe. I dropped them in and then completely ignored them after landing (my crew arrived 200d later to fly them). In that time they sat on the planet, the motors shifted position. On both planes the rear facing motors moved up slightly (symmetrically left-right) and front motors moved down slightly (symmetrical too). Curious if the fact that they are not on level ground could have an impact? Funny thing is I've left a similar version of the same plane (modified with float pods for water landings) on Kerbin floating in the bay for longer and this didn't happen there.

It's probably worth noting that the motors are not mounted with 2X symmetry-it uses four unique motors/props for CW/CCW prop rotation. Photo below shows what's up pretty clearly-the planes still fly perfectly but want to make sure they aren't going to move around more over time or if anyone knows of a fix.

Mods are fairly standard, and worth noting there are zero part mods on the plane (besides BG):

Gameplay: Mechjeb, Trajectories, Parts: KAS, KIS

There are KIS bases within 2.3km of the planes for what it's worth, was attempting to move a base with ground pylons and winches, no such luck. But that shouldn't have an impact on these decidedly non-KAS/KIS planes to my knowledge...

Many thanks in advance and happy landings!

I had a slightly similar case.  I had a plain circular tank on a Kerbin - Minmus shuttle that flies from station to station.  It has 2 x retractable solar panels (1x 6 long shape).  In my case these WERE fitted with symmetry, and yet they are now clearly pointing in slightly different directions wen I view the ship from behind.  The ship is about 1 year old in game time.
