I just did something similar on my couch recliner yesterday! My mechanism is a little more toward the inside of that rail. so I ground out a u shaped hole to allow mechanism to swing through. but I love the washer idea! I was baffled as to why the outside is hitting but the other side of the chair isn't. I bet it is up in the seat box that I can't see. My arm rest is also free floating. none of the mechanism arms seemed bent. thanks for documenting your fix ideas. The hardest part of finding videos like this is knowing what to actually search for! but I'm glad I found it.
