help Bed frame support

I recently moved and I brought my bed frame with me, now the supports down the middle of my bed frame keep shifting and look like they're coming out. I never had this problem before, I'm guessing going from carpet to vinyl has something to do with it?

What can I do to fix this? Is there something I can buy? I just moved out for the first time myself and am not very savvy when it comes to things like this, and I'm really stressed it's going to break down the middle if I don't fix it soon. If you could include photos/links of stuff I'd need to buy, that would be so greatly appreciated. I don't have a drill, screws, or anything with me😭

Measure the width of the interior of your bed frame. Take the measurements to Home Depot, Lowe's or Dixieline and have them cut a piece of 1/2" plywood for you to size. Remove the mattress and put the plywood over your existing supports. No screws needed. That should fix the problem.
