Yep... that would be me.

1/4" sunk into the hull? Laterally, I am assuming, is what you are showing with the quarter (a dime I think). It looks fine to me. The "sleeve" is the molded-in tube the crossbar slides into. These do not typically slip after molding. There are hoops extending downwards that plastic forms around and ridges along the tube that the plastic locks into.

What is possible... is that the crossbar is not fully seated. I simply butts up against the hull on the inboard side. It would then appear to be recessed in the outside of the hull. Perhaps the stop plate on the inboard side is not up against the inside of the hull? If you were to sail it... that should pull together if the tramps are tight.

I sent an email earlier today. You could send more photos for me to see.

Nice resort by the way! WOW!
