    First, sorry for my English. I just want to help and show the solution that worked for me.

    Use a heat gun, heat the plastic part that I show in the image. When that part is a little soft, press it upwards so that it closes more.

    I don't know if I explained it well, but that little arm gets tired over time. You just have to reposition it by closing it with heat.

    The image below shows the slot in the ashtray that rests on the arm you are going to heat up.
