PINDA probe is tilted one side and can't get auto calibration to finish before print

The PINDA probe is tilted for whatever reason, Iwanted to print a model but the calibration before print seemed very weird, so i tried to test XYZ from calibration menu. When searching for the first point out of 4 the printer digged into the bed so i stopped the printer, I looked at the nozzle and saw that the PINDA is tilted a little bit. What could have cause this and how to fix it, did anyone experienced this before

It's quite possible that PINDA clamp was not quite tight enough, (though who wants to overtighten it and damage the sensor?), and the sensor contacted your print(s).

Most likely the PINDA clamp can be slackened, the PINDA reset for distance from nozzle and verticality, and then carefully re tightened to where it will not slip again.
