Lily has hugeproblems with vertical alignment - it usually takes a lot 
of hacking.
In your case, the easiest is probably to put the numbers into a 
lyrics-context:

<<
  \new Staff {
    \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
    <c-1>8 <d'-2>8 <a-3>2 <g-4>4
  }
  \addlyrics{
    \override LyricText #'font-size = #-1
    "1" "4" "3" "5"
  }
>>

Alternatively one has to define his own context into which the scripts 
go. See the section "Piano centered dynamics" in the manual just to see 
how non-trivial this is.
If you want me to I will try and make a template where the scripts go 
into their own context and thereby are vertically aligned.
