Toilet Flange Problem

[DIYPlumber1]

Recently removed an old toilet. The piping and flange are cast iron. Upon removing the toilet I noticed the two bolts to secure the toilet are not parallel with the wall. The position of the bolts in the flange is non adjustable. They just slide in from the side. I need some suggestions on how to move at least one of the bolts so the toilet sits square to the wall. Maybe cut out some of the flange and move the position of the bolt?

You should be able to pick up a replacement closet flange which screws down onto the existing flange and adjust for exact bolt replacement.

how far off is the flange ? you have a good bit of excess movement/slop/loosness

when you set the toilet. i think i can twist a toilet evry bit o 3/4''

are you overthinking this?

I tried moving the toilet after setting it down but there was not enough movement to fix the problem.
