So I bought this set off of ebay, a Sachtler DA 75 legs (no spreads) with a DV8 head. He sold it without the quick release plate which is fine, I bought a replacement off of B&H, but when I tried to put the QR plate in it wouldn't fit. Turns out there's something up with the front sliding portion pictured here:

When I pull the lever the sliding portion simply doesn't come out very far, not giving the QR plate enough room to squeeze in. I am not sure if it's a wear and tear issue but I was hoping someone here could give me some insight as to how much tweaking needs to be done. Thanks ahead
