Bendable legs hell

So I have a part that I grabbed from Mr Google (my good friend :slight_smile: )

Its close, but needs some changes and has bendable legs (which is good, the meters I have have wires connecting them). So the I've been trying to move the bendable legs for the last several days now with a notable lack of success. So I broke down and edited the svg file and discovered it lacks a group breadboard (although Fritzing doesn't seem to care, the original part works fine as far as I can see). So in Inkscape I first moved (via xml editor) all of terminal0/1/2leg inside the view box, then did edit select all, and group which created a new group g3477. I then used xml editor to rename group g3477 to breadboard and then moved the legs back to their original position (because not doing that already hadn't worked, along with everything else :slight_smile: ). While things look fine in Inkscape, Fritzing disagrees. It has eaten the terminals in breadboard view:

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here please? What I need to do in the end is move the 3 wires from the bottom of the meter to the right hand side (and hopefully bend them 90 degrees so they would connect correctly to the breadboard). Along the way I'm trying to comply with the fpz file format doc and have a group called breadboard even though Fritz doesn't seem to care, but even without doing that I've had no success at moving the bendable leads anywhere.
