You'll probably find these middle screws are bent slightly from when it was assembled - I doubt they were put in after the keys were in place, they were probably screwed into the pillars, then the pillars were fitted and the keys slid on last.

This is why on pro clarinets they have tapered or bullet-tipped point screws - not only can they be tightened to take out play, but thet make assembly much easier.

And on plastic bodied altos, as with all plastic bodied instruments, make sure there's enough end play (or lateral movement) between keys and pillars so the don't all bind up when it gets cold.
