Also see in photo, the original rivet holes were drilled out and replaced with new holes/screws, so this system has been operated on before (I'm the 3rd owner).
Has anyone dealt with this, and what was the solution?
I am thinking about adding sheet metal shims behind the 3 tracks to take up this horizontal clearance, but open to any suggestions / experience.

Personally….. I would be taking it to a ln RV Repair / Restoration specialist. LCI says the slide-out tolerance for being square and aligned properly is 1/8”. If you are that far out of alignment, there is an underlying problem such that adding shims is only going to be a bandaid when you really need sutures.
