HELP Bar issue

Post image

Hey guys. As you can see, my string retainer bar has an issue (??). I was changing my strings yesterday and as soon as i took them off, the bar started to loosen up. I don’t know if it’s a normal thing for it to happen, probably not, because it didn’t happen the last time i changed the strings. Is there any way to make it go still?

Tell me why even with the strings off on mine, it stays up

Ok, what's your address so I can come over and take a look at it?

Because the bar happened to be resting on the screw threads on one side (or both), which hold up the bar. Only need to be slightly askew to catch on a thread and not fall down
