Hey man, The fix is quite easy in that the linear movement and the needle clip make the needle bar sometimes point towards the center of the tube depending on the tube. Some plastic tubes are slightly crooked and then some are perfect. Bending the needle both in the middle of the bar as well as bending it at the solder will give the needle a slight overall bow and It will solve the issue and the reward is a beyond precise movement that will allow you to pick away at the detail work!
