fix mis aligned upper awning latch

we love our 2023 fc 25fb
it meets all our needs except in areas where its too hot

when we received it, there was only one defect
the wheel that latches the upper curb side awning would not hold as it was 3/4" too far away

AS HQ would only fix it if we brought it to the factory
we live too far away from the factory

I fixed the setup today by moving it over by 3/4 of an inch
I did have to cover two of the screw holes

I had extra awning bonding tape
here is what it looks like

i also fixed the four ends points by placing nylon washers over the bolts
now instead of squeaky noise or stiffness, the arms moves smoothly

i used 2" SS bolts and nylon lock nuts

I also had to move the left side upper bracket on my 2022 23'FC so the wheel would properly engage .
