Re: Garrard SP25 MKIV. Not playing through a whole side.
Do you mean the flipovers on the transit screws? (The screws through springs which are ONLY used to secure the turntable when the player is being moved about.)
If you do, then don't worry, the screws are not tightened up for normal use, the turntable should float on the springs.
So undo (well actually screw down) the transit screws if you have got the turntable "secured"!
If it's something else, a photo would positively identify which screws you mean.
