Actually, I doubt that would void the warranty. FWIW, I have the Legacy C&O USRA #875 Mallet, and mine came with the drivers staggered 90 degrees out of the box. I think the positions of the drivers are the "luck of the draw", it's hard for me to believe they worry about that when assembling them. Also, the fine position would also be dependent on the position of the drive shaft linkage when the worm is installed in the gearbox, so it's quite possible for many of them to have other than a 90 degree increment in the driver positions relative to the other engine.

Some examples of the "other than 90 degree stagger".

I have had the Challenger apart, but I didn't crack the worm gear box. The Y6b came that way from the factory.
