The part of the zermatt origin bolt (firing pin) that connects with the trigger has become loose and I can wiggle it
back and forth and am not sure if/how I'm supposed to tighten it? I'm guessing that hole is
where the set screw is, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to tighten it while inside the bolt like in the first picture
or remove the firing pin and tighten the screw while not in the bolt like in the second picture? If anyone knows how
I'm supposed to tighten and service the firing pin/bolt let me know.
Thanks,

In that specific situation, you need to remove one set screw and loosen the second one installed. Then, tighten the shroud on the pin completely and back it off three quarters to one full turn. Secure it in place with one set screw then reinstall the second with a small amount of blue Loctite.

If you run into any issues, email me directly and I'll get you what you need: [email protected]

So I tried to take off the the set screw and it ain't coming off its on there good but when in the bolt like the first Pic it piece has the set screw in it has a slight wiggle back and forth. It that normal then?
 
If it's just wiggling, it shouldn't be an issue. If you can turn the shroud more than half of a turn on the firing pin, email me and we'll get you sorted out.

Thanks - Ray
At this point it's just wiggling but I dont remember it wiggling this much a few hundred rounds ago. And now im getting some primer strikes a bit off center. Idk if that matters or if that's normal or related whatsoever.

Not all my primers are struck perfectly in the center, in any my rifles. All custom actions. That's not an indicator of an issue.
