Dometic power awning slightly off center when closed

I noticed my awning arms slightly off centered at the up 1/3 of the arms when closed. Almost like the awning has been racked back. This is an after market Domestic power awning. Is there a way to adjust the awning so it will close with arms flush? Or is this a shop trip fix

    Fully OPEN awning.

    Now measure distance from edge of fabric material to end of roller......show be same distance on each end.

    If not......go to end that has largest distance
    Grab hold of fabric
    Push roller while pulling fabric to shift it in roller grove until both sides are same distance. (Then you can install a self-tapping SHORT screw in grove right next to edge of fabric on both ends to stop fabric from shifting)

    The product is NOT "Domestic" -- it's " Dometic ". It's amazing how many here don't seem to recognize that.
