Governor check ball questions 2004r

[Robrote]

I have a check ball that keeps falling out from the governor (2004r). After looking at it, there is definitely too much space on the heavy side to hold the ball in place. Do I dare bend a tab to make sure it doesn't keep falling out?

I don't see what it would hurt.

I did just that. No issues
