The problem is that the shaft is loose and turning inside the mount so
tightening up the adjustment screw is no help. What you need to do is drill
a small hole in the base of the mount so that it passes through the shaft
and install a small roll pin. After that you will probably have to loosen
the adjustment screw because in previous attempts to get the thing to stop
drooping you most likely have it clamped down tighter than a you know what.
