Heatbed Stop Piece contact issues

I saw this in the kit manual but no one else seemed to have a response-the bed stop piece that secured the back of the XY assembly to the back plate of the Core One (printed piece) the rear Z-Axis motor rod is leaning into the side of it.  Is this something I should worry about and how can I correct it so its not rubbing up against the piece as the other person the comments on the manual pointed out it seems like it will end up wearing out that piece fast.

Best Answer by Kyosuke_14:

Put the bed in the bottom, unscrew a little the two screw on the bed who hold the leadscrew nut, hold the leadscrew in the center of the plastic piece and tighten the two screws.

You can do the same thing for the two leadscrew on the front if they are not centered wit the top.

RE:

It may be that the trapezoidal nut isn't centred properly.  Try slackening the screws holding the trapezoidal nut in place, then nudging the trapezoidal nut to re-centre the lead screw.  Unless there's a problem with the motor mount below the base plate it should be quite possible to position that trapezoidal nut so that the lead screw doesn't touch that printed piece.

Probably best to do this with the heatbed near to the top, for best accuracy.
