Possible to change timestamp of synced trophy on PS3?

I was wondering if it's possible to change the timestamp of a synced trophy for a PS3 game on the Sony servers? A few years ago, my OG PS3 got the YLOD and I hadn't synced my trophies, but luckily, I had backed up my saves on the cloud. Got a new slim PS3, downloaded my save, started playing again, but the trophies that I had earned on my OG PS3 were never synced, so I've got trophies out of order, and some of the trophy websites have flagged me for getting trophies out of order. I even appealed but they won't change their stance.

Awesome thing is that I found a local place that reballed my OG PS3 so it's back up and running (although REALLY loud), so I now know the dates that I earned those trophies. Is there a way to change the timestamp of a trophy that's already been synced to Sony's servers?
 
Not possible. To do that, You need root access to Sony servers. ;) Date & time taking from console side have lower priority than one from their servers.

Such flagging is response for a wave of cheaters (those which editing trophies by hand; not those who using backup saves; You are just victim of anticheater practise).

If You getting Your old machine back to business, sync trophies from it (I assuming that You have HDD from it). And dates will fix as You get trophies from old console with old dates (but of course in exception which those which have on dead console but earned "again" on new console, so those old will be overwritten).

So if I sync my trophies from my OG PS3 where I earned them, it will override the trophy dates I earned on my replacement ps3? I'll give it a shot, hope it works!!
 
Let's put it on that example:
You earned trophy A in gameset B on console X but never synced it yet. You earned trophy A in gameset B on console Y and You already synced it. Syncing it on console X, will replace its timestamps which came from console Y, because servers have them with timestamp from Y and Sony servers have higher priority than console side data. Not opposite way which You want if I understood correctly Your intentions!

On my example:
I've played PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate on my PSTV with dead battery. All trophies I earned have "-" symbol instead of date & time. This game using the same NPWR id for all editions, so for a test (because I was curious how it works ;p) I bought this game on PS4, earned some trophies and sync with SEN. All dates earned on PS4 was replaced by "-" came from Sony servers because those was synced earlier than earned trophies on PS4 for this game.
