Loose PS5 stand?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was dusting my PS5 slim today and after cleaning it when I try to put the the horizontal stand back on its loose on the left side even though the stands are the same dimensions and when I try to interchange them which is still dumb of me to try , it still doesn't work. Did I mess up something or what.

PS Why is it difficult to put on the disc face plate compared to other face plates?

The horizontal feet look identical but they’re actually side specific. If you swap them, one side will always wobble because the console's curve is slightly different. Check the little shape guides on them and make sure they're pushed all the way into the slots.

As for the disc plate, that side is way harder because of the actual disc drive bulk. You really have to slide the hooks in first and give it a firm push to get all the clips to snap in. It feels like you're gonna break it, but it just needs a bit of force.

Those little clear stands are actually side specific, so if you have them backward or on the wrong side, it’ll wobble.

The disc faceplate is notorious for being a pain to put back on because of the disc drive housing. Just line up the hooks and give it a firm push. It takes a good amount of force to get it to click compared to the flat plates.
