My thought on motor side needing adjustment. If motor side seals properly, slide in/slide out, that side should be okay. Motor side has a stop can, to stop, and adjusting lock nuts when going the other way.
If the non-motorized side is not sealing in or out (one or other) by 1/2", there are a couple bolts on my similar slide arm to loosen, and push slide in/out, to adjust, whichever is needed.
On mine for horizontal adjust, there are two bolts each side to loosen, push slide, retighten when clearance is satisfactory.

It is not a matter of sealing or not. The slide is crooked and binds. There are 3-4 more teeth showing on the motor side when fully extended. It was the motor side that got stuck which makes me think when it broke free it skipped a few teeth.
I have a new plan to try.....IF I can crank the slide by the manual override then I will remove the bolt on the passive side drive rod, then crank the slide in some (only the motor side will move) to line it back up with the passive side! Replace bolt in drive rod and should be good to go (fingers crossed!)
