Abstract: A method of forming a vane assembly for a gas turbine engine includes the steps of 1) determining a re-stagger angle for an airfoil on a ceramic matrix composite (“CMC”) vane, 2) determine an adjusted position of a baffle to be inserted within a central chamber in the vane, inserting the baffle into a bathtub seal, and adjusting an upper face of the baffle to an orientation relative to a bathtub seal support face to account for the adjusted position of the baffle and 3) fixing the baffle upper face to the bathtub seal flange support face. A vane assembly and a gas turbine engine are also disclosed.
