That is an awesome jig you came up with to align the mirrors. There would be no cumulative error, and by using a large diameter gear, the absolute position accuracy would be extremely good.
Steve,
You probably will have enough adjustment range in each mirror to be able to reduce or eliminate any cumulative error. As you say, it could be tricky to tap one mirror without affecting it's neighbors, but maybe with a jig like Viewmaster's it won't be that difficult.

(maybe 1/2 pixel error ?) then 'sets' of sixes could be pinned as per Steve's designed.
Then each of the 20 slat sets (20 x 6 =120) could be aligned along my gear indexing idea. So only 20 such clamps/fixes would be required, not 120
......and pro rata for any other 'set' numbers whose errors were acceptable.
