singer featherweight bobbin out of synch

i had to take off the needle plate to clean the bobbin--when i replaced the needle plate making sure the position finger is in the grove of the needle plate--what now happens is the needle hits the top of the bobbin--something is out of synch--any ideas?

You may have already done this, but I would take the bobbin carrier out, remove the bobbin, make sure there isn't lint inside, and replace it and try again. If this does not help, then I would suggest you take the machine to a repairman, Barbara in SC

Put in a new needle and make sure it is in correctly flat to the left and all the way up in the clamp.
