Well, that was easy! Just numerous trips up and down the ladder, from the awning material retaining screw (at the front of the awning) to the awning control switch (at the rear of the trailer) as I adjusted the material.
I rolled the awning out a few inches and removed the screw that retains the awning material in the slide strip. As soon as I removed the screw, the material slid back a little - I assume from the misalignment of the roller/power head. Went to the back of the awning and gently tugged the material back and it easily moved from there as well. I could nudge it fore and aft and feel the roller somewhat settle into equilibrium - feeling centered.
Went inside and extended and retracted a few times, and repeated the adjustment until both arms fully seated over the inner mount arms. Apparently the material has shrunk, since the arms still rub a bit, but it's good for now.
Also time to replace the material ... so on to that project.

Ours does that on the front arm. Not as bad, I just start pushing a little as it gets close

Mine has done that at times, usually from the wind. Ounce I have the material aligned correctly so the arms close properly I mark the tube on both ends of the material with a marker. This gives me a visual reference to check before rolling up the awning.
