We cut the plates off and moved them in both sides and rewelded but also gussetted them as well.

The gusset idea is a very good one AND once the shims are in place and the geometry sorted. Take the time to make one solid shim right across the two bolts. This spreads the load evenly over the whole plate and doesn't make 'flex' points.
