The screws that hold the flipper shaft to the crank are set screws. You'd need to tighten them down onto the shaft while the flipper is installed, and the bat is in the proper resting position.

Quoted from Sean:

Thanks! Just by the looks of the mechanics, that is the problem, but how do you tighten them while the flipper shaft is in place. There is no wiggle room to get your hands in there to adjust the screw, unless there is another way?

The set screws should be easily accessible for a wrench in their normal positions. I think you have the crank on upside down. The flat plate part should be closer to the playfield

Your cranks are all backwards. See this pic: pasted_image (resized).pngpasted_image (resized).png

Sorry I don't have any better pics on hand...

Quoted from Sean:

And all 3 flippers at that. Well I took the lever assembly off and there is no way to flip it and install properly. The roller that would ride the plunger is on the wrong side. I appreciate the help with this and I will take a look to see if I can find the correct crank pawl. Looks like I need the LEFT to fix this one.

Some can just be swapped side to side, right?
