Quoted from Yoko2una:

Just to confirm this may be an assembly or alignment issue, have you taken a straight edge to the PF, both vertically and horizontally? There were legit issues with some recent machines that had real warped play fields. If your problems are disappearing after jostling around, that isn’t a giant electromechanical product on a wooden plank readjusting.
This is sounding a lot more like the apron hooks not seating properly in the bracket under the lock bar (potentially in one of your pics) and not of a true warped PF as the title suggests.
