Loosen the screws that hold down the PC board a little bit.  Then stick a
flat screwdriver blade between the PC board and the side of the AFM (away
from the sweeper pivot point) and gently twist.  You'll move the board a
couple millimeters, which should be just enough.  I would tend to think of
this as an emergency repair, but so far mine has been going this way for
about 10K miles.
