how far did you move them?

The top bolt is 5 inches from the top edge of the frame.

The bottom bolt is (of course) 11 inches from the top bolt.

I drilled holes 1-inch apart all the way from top to bottom, so I could mount the backplate up/down as needed just by moving the bolts.

What I did was grinded off the original bolts, so can't find/remember where they were relatively.

Hi I have been diving a dt box for two years with the same problem I have mounted two 7,s and two 3,s with 7,s nearest my back. after diving at scapa for a week this summer and having the chance to play with the weight i have found that if you raise the sevens as high as you can and put a 2 k weight on each with a cam band this resolves the bad back problem but then again remounting the back plate lower would reduce the need for the extra weight
