It's likely a Meyer design, and if so the rear lens group is probably one unit held in place and centered by three tiny set screws. Once you remove the back you will know if this is the case. If so, check to see if the rear lens unit is loose.

Starting from scratch, you can back the three screws out. Try screwing them all in as equally as possible, counting the turns from when the screw "bites" the threads and try to get them all at about the same point with the rear unit being locked in place. Then check the centering by test. Without a centering microscope, it's just going to be trial and error, but at least you will not be waiting on or wasting film.

Good Luck!
