Quoted from Cudaman:Which specific cliffy are you using? Didn't seem to find it on his site....i'm sure i am just looking like a guy.
I had the same issue. Emailed Cliff and he told me to go to this link.

Hello all,
I've been playing the hell out of my premium since it got in the other week and been loving it.
Last night I noticed the trex seemed to be sitting lower than her normal mid position and was making contact with the habitrail on the right. It was late so I just turned the game off and decided to tackle it today.
After coming back I've figured out that she sits in her normal mid position on switch 65 only if coming back from the up position on switch 64.
When raising its head from the down position, switch 65 activates too quickly and leaves the head in a spot where it will make contact with the plastics and habitrail leaving the motors to grind.
Should I be adjusting the cam that activates the switches or the switch itself? Again, it works fine when coming from the up position.

Bump for any wisdom?
It seems to be a sticky switch on the mid position. It activates too early even though I can't even see the switch arm moving. I checked the setscrew that holds the cam in place and that's tight. The cam itself will travel to the right positions when I works correctly. I don't know how to adjust the switch so it doesn't activate early and doesn't stick on. It's bolted to a plate with the rest of the assembly.
Picture with switch in question and the plate it's attached to.
Quoted from MrMikeman:You just loosen the two screws holding the switch and you can rotate the whole switch assembly until there's a bigger gap so the switch doesn't trigger so easily. There's quite a bit of play once you loosen the screws. Just make sure you don't remove them. Hassle to put them back in sometimes.
It really is a simple fix and is required on switches from time to time so good to learn.
Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and tried this yesterday.
I don't have the ignition wrenches to properly unscrew the fasteners that hold the switch on (I know they're Data East legacy, but WHY these hex heads and not the same size phillips? Not important enough to change I guess) so I had to be gentle with some small pliers.
I had about a mm in each direction of play on the switch once loose. It took me a few tries, but it seems to have worked. The trex still has a slightly different middle sitting point depending on if it comes from the up or down position first but it no longer sits so low that it hits the habitrail so I'll call that a win for now.
Thanks again MrMikeman
