What is it with the 100mm FED 6.3 l3ns? I cannot get rangefinder alignment with this lens. I seems that the lens mount is too thick as the distance scale does not finish on the top of the camera but to the side. I have tried this lens on many ltm bodies and cannot get a match. Does anyone have any experience with this lens??

It's normal..; it suppose to be somewhere like 10:30 or 11 o'clock...
make a test roll... as those lenses are not standard calibrated... you have to match them to certain fed body (and vice-versa)...

Yes, the lenses and pre-war FED bodies were supposed to be matched for each other in a workshop.
