    Quoted from Mopar:

    The end of the left flipper plunger's linkage looks pretty worn.
    On the next order, I need to order a couple because the hole
    the plunger's pin goes through is quite worn on the Flipper
    Parade..

    Correct. The lower bakelite link is mangled at both ends. Looks like the upper link may have been replaced with new at one time. Notice the distance each pivot arm rests from its respective metal stop. The difference in rotation between the two is obvious. Best fix: replace the lower link (PBR has the material) using the upper link as your pattern. Quick fix: move the upper stop bracket away (has the slots for this), or screw in a metal shim piece onto the face of the lower stop bracket.

    This recent tool post (and thread) may be helpful in replacing flipper link roll pins. Can be a challenge:

    A pic of the playfield side with the flippers at rest would show that. But, aren't those 2" flipper positions adjustable via set screws on the flipper shaft? I can't recall.
