There are no grammar rules for choosing prepositions. Collocation and common sense are your only friends. I can't really judge your sentences because I don't know what 'glass alignment' is.

Any progress on the repair?

Progress on the negotiation?

"progress on..." seems to be the correct collocation to me. That's mu opinion.

I agree that an article is needed, then: 'the glass alignment'. I think I would say 'with', but I see nothing 'wrong' with 'in' or 'on'.
