I have a 26-3 layout in my ex Palm Beach and the door to the bath module
used to swing all the way to a stop just past the drawers across from
it. I had the body pads done and I think it may have changed the
geometry a bit. Now the clearance in that hallway has changed and I
can't get the door to open past the hinges of the cabinets.
It's a real problem because we use that space as a dressing room and
without the clearance we can't open any of the drawers. Any ideas how I
can adjust those spaces so that everything fits again?

I had this problem a few years ago and fixed it by putting a bottle jack on its side with a short piece of 2x4 and jacking the base of the cabinet and the base of the bath module until I had the spacing I needed. You have to take the floor of the small cabinet below the stove out and you will find an angle bracket screwed into the floor and into the back of the cabinet face. Take out the floor screw before jacking. If you remove the board under the bath door you should see a similar bracket there. Once you jack the cabinets apart you then put a screw into the floor through the brackets to hold it in place.
You may also have to do the same at the top of the cabinets.
