How to fix crooked Sanitronic VII emtor lock? |

About a month ago I bought a complete bag + emtor assembly from someone on facebook, since the assembly for the SVII fits onto a D50 (which I've correctly identified my Kirby as, which I haven't mentioned here). The emtor attaches crooked and has recently gained a tendency to come undone and fall off due to the unconventional angle, facebook said that the lock has /become/ crooked with time and there is a way to move it back, but hasn't told me how to do it properly other than a bunch of hypotheticals.
Advice is appreciated, I don't have the time, money, nor sanity to buy a new emtor so that is out of the question. Images below. | ||

Whoever told you that on Facebook is wrong. You probably aren't pushing it fully into place. Some of those older emptors require some muscle to lock in. | ||

crooked emptor trouble
get you some kind lube oil & put a little on the slots of the emptor neck.it will work so much easier you will be amazed.also check the rubber gasket in the neck & make sure it's not broken or crooked.
