In training and when the tech services our machine, we were shown how to make sure the arms are UP to keep the fabric above the needle plate-and all instructions with fast frames, speedframes, etc. tell you to adjust to get the frames UP-not down! We were shown how to bend the sidearms if needed to get things where they belonged....I'll bet a couple of techs here are going to jump in themselves and go 'say what?' like me! Yes, having them bent down WILL distort the sewout because the material is stretching out as you sew-release the stretch and the noses will shrink right back as you see.
