In using IBM columns, we see asymmetrical fillets and columns shifting to the edge of lands. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Past experience with one of our customers with a similar situation was resolved with an inert atmosphere (nitrogen) in the reflow process. I would suggest that you use around 1000 ppm oxygen level or less in the reflow zone to achieve the fillets and reduce or eliminate the shifting.
