Well, lets hope that was it and whatever was dislodged before is now jarred into the correct position and stays there till the end of time.
If you were used to tweeters out then when setting up with tweeters in you would want to maximize the distance between the tweeters to make it roughly the same as it was with the outsies. If that results in proximity to the sidewalls then you can use that to your advantage to warm up the tonal balance with wall loading.
I don't remember you having a particularly long narrow room but on the long wall in such rooms it is usually far better to place the tweeters out. They want to be ~36" from the sidewalls and care little whether the rest of the speaker or just air stand between them and the sidewall. Don't ask me why, I never managed to figure that one out.

At the moment, with the tweeters on the outsides, the tweeters are 16" from the side walls (the long wall). The speakers are about 12" further apart than I had them before trying them on the inside; sound okay for now.
36" from the sidewalls in this 126" wide room means the insides of the speakers would only be 14" apart in the centres. I haven't tried it, but I would have to move the amps...
I didn't realize the room was so narrow so don't bother with my suggestion and I doubt outsies are going to do better than insies in this context. If you setup absorption on the sidewalls by the tweeter then the tweeter out setup might work with such proximity to the side walls, otherwise I am very skeptical of the SQ potential with tweeters out..
