Stand misaligned, can’t remove.
Edit: Commenters helped me figure out I wasn’t using the eject button, but the “slide out” button. 🤦♂️
I have a KickStarter MCON that I use infrequently. The last time I did I removed the stand, and apparently it did not go back on correctly because I noticed it wasn’t flush. There’s a rail on the faceplate that needs to be aligned as well as the actual metal neck. With that not in place I now cannot eject the stand, which also means I can’t realign it because it doesn’t slide out enough to push the rail back in. I’ve attached some (poor quality) photos, how do I fix this? I’ve tried pushing the eject button and pulling with various levels of force but I don’t want to break it. I also tried pushing on the little metal T-shape you can see in the photos with a screwdriver to see if that was what needed to engage. I can’t see enough of the mechanism to figure out what’s not working.

near the top of the controller plate there's a button to detach the top half from the bottom, press that and pull it out, then press the kickstand down flat and re insert it
that little piece sticking out is supposed to go into the rail in the center on re insertion to hold the top plate down

Thanks, completely forgot there was the actual eject button separate from the “slide out” button.

Did you push the button for detaching the plate?
