New PS2 Slim laser won't travel on rail.

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I've installed a new laser in my PS2 Slim, but it hits a hard stop point halfway when traveling on the rail and won't read discs.
I have removed the solder blob, so the disc spins but the laser can only travel on the inner or outer portion of the rail and hits a hard stop when trying to move further. I've replaced two lasers before with no issue, this is a first for me seeing this issue.

+Here’s an image of the bottom of the defective unit for reference. The new working laser I received didn’t have these.
