Sleet Island - Philosopher Stones riddle

Hi !
At the philosopher stones riddle (where it's necessary to push the stones on the orange glowing positions at Sleet Island) I think I'm stuck without having the chance to "reset" the stones in the original position. That means: making a mistake at the beginning of this riddle, prevents me from finishing the game, because I couldn't solve that part? Or is there any chance to get the stones back at their original position, (except loading a previous savegame, loosing progress in other areas of about three hours...)?
Yes, stupid me...
(( any hints would be great - thanks!

I do not really understand your problem. You have access and can push the stones in any direction. Maybe you didnt found some hidden button to open wall.

Hey Theotolax,
long time no see
You don't need to reset the stones.
There's a hidden switch which opens the wall where the wooden box is...so you can get past the stone.
Check out the map to see where the hidden button is:

As it's written, the commentary is in german. Just switch it off

I had the same "issue" you had (when I first did it) - I thought I messed up and trapped a stone.
But the clue PSY has in his spoiler is what you need.
