Slide out off by 3-4" when open/ Flush when closed

Question

Went on a family trip and after a good east cascade rain storm, had a rather wet RV... around the back slide. after getting home and opening up for a drying, I notice the back slide one side is flush and the other is off by 3-4 inches, but only when open.... Also appears the outside support rail, is bent(farthest away from RV)

Thoughts .. Is this slide just out of whack? Or is there another sinister reason why bent and out of sink?

Thanks RV folks....

Our slide has 2 geared rods driven in and out by a cog on each support rod.  The cogs attach to the motor shaft with a woodruff key.  One of those keys came out once and it cause the slide to come out crooked.

If its a Schwintek slide you need to re-time the motors. which raises a very important point. How do you expect to get good answers when we ain't got a clue as to what kind of slide you have?
