You can reduce the 'Snap Threshold' in the Conveyor System Properties, reducing the distance from which conveyors will automatically snap/connect to nearby conveyors.

For not-yet-connected conveyors, you should always be able to exactly position them by changing the coordinates in the properties window.

@len zm You could also make your conveyors protected or no select (right mouse button -> Edit) That way you cannot move them unwantedly.
