Hey, just got done figuring out what was wrong from the get go from the PO.
After several successful attempts at aligning the light switch body with the spider, and then it would fall out of position when turning the light switch. I found that the bail wire had been positioned upside down. Yes, it was grabbing the switch at the bottom, however, it was not putting any real tension on the switch body. So...I just for grins, flipped over the bail, and wallah, all is nice and tight.
Gee, what a simple solution that never came to mind while fiddling with this piece.
Lesson learned. Always look first for the simple solution!
Thanks for everyone's input. If anything, it made me think.
