XA finder is held in with two screws. There is a small pin that is moved by
a 'ramp' on the side of the lens, when the pin moves toward the back of the
camera it moves an arm that changes the focus window alignment. There is not
a lot of room inside the XA with the top on, I'm not sure you could fit the
top if the finder were seriously misaligned. Its possible that the glass
lenses at the front or rear of the finder are tilted, that could cause the
view to skew. The lenses are glued in place. You may have to remove the top
to do some investigation... its not extremely difficult, but can be a bit
fiddley in some places. Small screwdrivers are mostly what is needed.
