I have a similar coach on a DP chassis. Your slide assembly may be similar to mine. My unit has a powerGear slide assembly.
I suspect your slide motor brake is set in the wrong position, or is not working. If the slide motor brake is ok, then I think you need to adjust the slide. My slide does not move back out slightly after closing. I think it is the brake on the slide motor that holds the slide when the switch is released.
I have several PowerGear documents about the slide operation and adjustment. If you want me to send them to you, give me your email address in a private message, and I will send them to you. Hopefully they may help.
After re-reading your post, I noticed your statementI tried retracting it again and it does the same thing...it comes all the way in and then when I release the button it rocks back out slightly on that corner.. This may indicate some loose bolts/nuts in the slide assembly on that side only. You might want to check for loose fasteners on that side also.
