Your awning is not in the lock slots at top. Push on arm towards trailer while lifting arm up with lever, then let arm down while still pushing towards trailer. Now give arm a pull away from trailer to be sure it is locked in at top. Pin you are talking about is for arm to rest on to take weight off spring loaded lever pins. When you are locked in at top, then all should be lined up for spring loaded handle pins to be in holes, but not taking too much weight, and lower pin you are talking about to be taking arm weight. You are in danger of your awning deploying and ripping off when driving down the road if arms are not lifted and then dropped into lock position at the top.
To get awning out again, flip down awning ratchet lever with awning rod, loosen black knobs, release small flip out arm retainer, then use awning rod to pull out 4 or 5 inches of awning. This will give you slack. Then lift up on arm levers to lift arm up and pull arm away from trailer. Now you can proceed to pull awning all the way out.
