For the special Din of Eidim Zomemim that you give the intended penalty to the witnesses, they must be made Zomemim after the case has been decided but before the punishment is meted out. If the new witnesses come before the trial is finished based on the original testimony or after the defendant has been punished (execution, money, anything) then the witnesses just have the status of Eidei Sheker, not Eidim Zomemim.
