Hello everybody, could you please help me with the right position of the adverb "slightly"? Which one of the following versions sounds better in English? What I'm trying to say (the context is legal argumentation) is: "even though XY might be right, there are other possibilities of interpreting the situation. Shifting the focus (ever so?) slightly, the actions of XZ open up a series of further considerations". 
a) shifting the focus slightly
b) slightly shifting the focus
The other problem is: what about "open up a series of further considerations"? Does this expression have any sense in Eglish?
Thanks
