you need to adjust the arms. put it in service mode and loosen the bolt for the arms (think it's a 10mm) then move the arms slightly back or forward, then tighten nut and close top. Might take a few tries to get it right.

The arms are slotted. Its the arm that has the plastic ball joint on them (the one that breaks at times)
