We have a grand-daughter clock (ie like a grandfather but only about 4
feet high) which used to run OK but only runs for a short time since we
moved house. It was transported horizontally on its back.
Based on your information your clock is out of the vertical orienation
it had when previously sited. It only needs the pendulum part re-aligned
to the new location.
To check this get some thin pieces of card and place under the right or
left side and listen to the `tick/tock` it should be evenly balanced.
adjust the cardboard `wedges` until you get an even tick/tock.
You can then leave as is or adjust the pendulum to achieve the same.
