If you carefully clean the sensor plate rim and the meter body bore, you may remove deposits that caused the sticking. If it then still does not move freely and without catching, it still seems unlikely realigning the plate would correct the source of the problem, which is likely an internal worn part. If cleaning did not solve the problem, I would remove the airflow meter, disconnecting all the plumbing, and remove the rubber lower plenum for inspection and possibly more complete cleaning - before attempting ANY adjustments. Then, if an adjustment would save replacing the airflow meter, I would cautiously attempt it.
