There's plenty of workarounds for that problem and it's not rocket surgery.

The rear body posts on TA05 cars are offset a different amount so you can flip them around to give slightly different positions. The hole/stud are a perfect match for the Tamiya cars (I use them on my 418, but they match the older TA05MS, etc.).

Then there's plenty of other cars like Kawada, Xray, Yokomo which again have posts that can be used to achieve a different positioning of the point where the post goes through the body. All of these match the hole/locating pin/stud positions as if all manufacturers agreed on it so they go straight in the holes in the shock bridge across all cars.

I'll leave it up to you to do the required research to find the part numbers.

If you can't be buggered to do any of that, you can just use longer screws and some washers/spacers to offset the 419 posts the desired amount. If you need too big an offset and the stud does not reach the locating hole, you can just drill it and use a second screw instead of the stud.
