Hi
Is there any chance of sending me a picture of the part in question to ascertain what the problem may be?

I have checked your parts with mine, and they are exactly the same.

Please refer to the official build diary, and see if that helps.

Let me know how you get on

Hi, the parts look correct to me. Have you checked out the official video build at
https://www.youtube.com/...phYZW9OUKndCE_wekwtnEGN

to compare yours.

Otherwise would really need to see a pic of the casing in relation to the leg to try and ascertain what the problem might be.

you have the correct parts, same as mine.
Does the leg look like this, looking at the bottom section?

Okay, that looks the same too.
When you fit the foot piece in place, is it the bottom section of the let that doesn't clip in?

Can you unscrew the metal plate off and see whether that could be the problem (LFR 10) and see if it can align differently?

Looking at your picture, the plate seems to be to the right more, rather than the left.

If you look at my picture you will see what I mean.

Hi
Having looked at your pictures more closely, the metal support plate is sitting too far to the right. It maybe that you have installed the mounting plate the wrong way round in issue 21, this would push the support plate too far to the right.

Let me know how you get on
