If in doubt, enlarge the hole in the bottom of the reed socket and you won't have any alignment problems. There's a step between the base of the staple and the top of the bore anyway (which is around 3.9mm maximum), so that's hardly going to affect anything by enlarging the hole in the reed socket.

Oboes aren't exactly a perfect instrument, so if there are misalignments in the bore at every joint, one more won't make much of a difference.
