The physical detector has certainly not been moved, and is accurate to
better than 1mm.
The imageplane you talk about is constructed in the code from ideal
assumption
on positioning and properties of the mirror.
Are the numbers different from the previous years ? if yes by how much?
Is this done with the final T5 geometry ?
a) I doubt since it is not yet in DB awaiting a few more checks on auau zero
field runs,
and DC calibrations for auau.

I recomend one change the offset in analysis, and not in DB, but as
indicated these are likely not
final.
Another note on RICH is that I think the index of refraction should be in DB
having values store
at the level of one per 1 to 2 weeks.
