"Quarter" is your problem.  All drivers must have crankpins at the same angle - usually 90 degrees or thereabouts.

Pull the rods off, set one side at top or bottom dead center, and make sure the other side is in a very straight line - in line with the axle centerlines.  A loose driver can be fixed at this point with Loctite and your special screwdriver.

To hold the drivers at top/bottom dead center, you can drill an aluminum plate with tight-fitting holes - spacing must be exactly the same as axle spacing.  If the rods are tight (unlikely) they can be used.

Then the rods must be re-fitted after the Loctite sets.  You fit them at front and back dead center.  You will see interference if there is any - the rod must be adjusted so there is no resistance.  Use a magnifying glass, and pins without caps. You may have to make test pins.
