Design flaw in mk3s extruder body cousing ir sensor problems

Had a problem the filament sensor  kept reporting that there is filament in place even without any filament there.

Took the top off and removed the sensor; out of the body sensor works correct. Placed sensor back in position without screwing down and found it could move left and right in the slot triggering depending on position.

This shows the slot is to wide allowing the sensor to move causing these errors.

What needs to be done is a redesign of the body so the sensor fits snug into the slot eliminating the chance of movement.

Cut a piece of paper, fold it several times, and insert it between the sensor PCB and the plastic part to fill the gap.
