My Iron Maiden playfield has some side to side play in the rear of the game. The playfield seems to sit too much towards the right.
It's only about an 1/8", but this small amount is all takes to make a difference in how the ball auto launches.
The upper right flipper also vibrates against the cabinet when the playfield shifts/sits to the right side.

Simply shifting the back of the playfield to the left fixes both issues, however in time, it seems to shift back to the right.
The cabinet is level on the bottom of the cabinet, on the playfield and with the glass on, so the game is/appears level.

Is there a way of making an adjustment so that when lowering the playfield, it is centered in the rear?
If you look at the plastic on the backboard, there is more space on the left than the right. This is the issue.
Correcting the spacing, or even reversing the way it fits now, will fix both issues.

Thanks in advance.
