Looks like your slide is electric where mine is hydraulic. Probably comparing Apples to Oranges.
Mine is also setting on carpet which has sunk down. I used 1/4" plywood to shim that part up. Another piece of carpet would have worked better, but it is working fine.
When I jacked up my slide from the outside, I learned it was better for me to use two jacks, one on each side, as close to the rv as possible. I learned that the parts involved all had some flex, so the adjustment would change when the weight was taken off the jacks. For me, it took several attempts. Don't forget to keep an eye on your side to side measurements too. Good luck. I am certainly happy with how mine turned out.
