      Yeah, it looks exactly like that, but the balance staff pivots was long when fit into the jewels, so I took some  bits shorten it from the bottom pivot but  when  I made the movement run  on all position and all the other position works fine but not on dial up position.  and im not getting any reading from my timegrapher So what do you reckon the issue could be do I need to shorten the bottom pivot more and also a notice the balance rim is really close to the center wheel teeth  feel  it's catching the rim.

      I don't think there's a risk with UV glue of causing damage. I know a friend of mine frequently reinforces vintage lume with the same lacquer that comes with the modern lume kits and hasn't had any issue with that either. I would personally leave the hole, and drag a layer of UV across the bottom to stabilize what's there.   I really like Loxeal UV glue, the one I keep around (and it is approved by my picky Japanese watchmaker friend) is their UV30-33. I think any name brand, clear UV glue would be fine though.

      Without knowing what the existing lume is I don't think anyone would be able to answer that. With all things lume related there's a lot of trial and error. I'd avoid anything as harsh as UV and probably just go with Jewellers Cement and leave it to dry naturally.

      Thanks @RichardHarris123. I really want to avoid a full re-lume at pretty much all costs. I'd rather leave the small hole. My main question really is: which products (which lacquer, which UV glue) is NOT going to chemically alter/damage the current lume?   PS: i've read some old posts of @HectorLooi and @nickelsilver and would be grateful to have their views.
