Gimbal obstruction and Motor Overload- Replaced Vibration Plate

Make sure this cover is snapped all the way in. Snap it in with your fingernail

When I google Mavic Pro gimbal almost every picture has that cable displayed in a similar fashion. What do you think is wrong with this one?

Theres nothing wrong with it, you just need to attach it better to the motor assembly. There is adhesive there.

Please take a closeup picture of where it is scratching.

Attempted to snap anything in and around the area highlighted but nothing felt out of place or able to snap in even when using my fingernail.

That cable is part of the ribbon cable that needs to be replaced correct? If so, then I will just have that redone when I order the new part. Do you sell those parts btw?

This part should not scrape on itself.

You might not need to replace the ribbon. If you can figure out where the gimbal is scraping it might fix everything

Ok so tried to take a couple of angles. Some to show the scuff marks on the area I believe is scratching and then some to show where the two collide and the friction is.

As the others have said, thank you so much Thunder! Your help is much appreciated. Is there any where I can purchase a replacement for that part? Or would I need to replace the whole gimbal. If so, may I ask what you would charge for such a repair if I send it in?

I seem to be having a similar issue with the gimbal getting stuck against the vibration plate. it is getting stuck in the rectangular opening directly over the gimbal preventing the up/down movement during calibration, (giving me the gimbal overload message)
I made sure the tabs and anti drop hook are all in their proper alignment.
I was wondering if i could widen the opening in the plate with a dremel or file to provide clearance for rotation.
I have video feed and when I do mess with it,it does the dance , but hangs up the next time or 2.
The gimbal does not look bent but to my eyes but I can never find my glasses either so....
