Various methods of preventing the pegs from subsequent movement were, center punch, soft solder, locktite. If your fingers are new and still identical, and your pivot pins in the posts are new I would review your repair peg heights rather than bending.
This has to be the way to go, explore this fully first -from an engineering perspective, if you have all new fingers, they are identical, the fault is else where . it'd be far easier to control material removal from the peg than to control a bend. Getting the bend wrong means new fingers again . getting the pin wrong just means screwing a bit more through

the use of a dremmel with mounted point grinding wheel would help you access the pin without the need to remove the posts
