I can get the arm in and out fairly easily, but once I put it in, this happens (I made the video below for my guitar tech, but I'm posting here as well):

If anyone has any insights or feedback on how to fix this or if this is a known thing, I would love to hear your thoughts.

There shouldn't be one, but has someone mistakenly put an AmStd spring down the hole? Sounds rather like that, albeit very dry. Try a spot of lube, perhaps? 3-in-1 does most things for me...

Cheers - Peter.
