Make sure you have the centering flange installed in the bottom coil for the eyelids. A part that’s small so when it breaks it often falls into the cabinet unnoticed

This is it. It keeps the plunger straight. If missing it will never properly open and close the eyelids. Do you have a better pic of the head open with the coils showing? The I can show you better where it goes, but to describe it goes under the bottom coil between it and the bracket

This part is 100% for your problem. I know you are skeptical, but when I rebuilt a Rudy head I had this exact same problem and was missing this part. The plunger will not go straight up and down without it and will not fully engage or disengage. See the schematic below, circled in red is the part and where it goes. I also circled in your picture where it goes. You 100% need this part if you ever want the eyes to open and close correctly. Here is my blog post from five years ago where I talk about it http://practicalsteve.blogspot.com/
