Can an Installed Molly Bolt be Adjusted Slightly?

This is a cross post from Home Repair. Any answers appreciated! I hung a 36" coat rack on drywall with the two molly bolts it came with. It made a nice and secure hold, but to my chagrin I realized that the finished product was not level. One side is higher than the other by just under 1/4". Since I hate to start all over and drill more holes in the wall, is it possible to adjust one molly bolt so it is just slightly lower? The molly's face plate is on the surface (not sunk)and can be rotated. Perhaps I could dig out the bottom of the hole slightly and then push the molly a bit lower? Again, any advice welcome. And, yes, I did invest in a level this time. . .
