Thanks for that verification, mine was off. It is now aligned like your photos. The allen head set screw on the shaft was a bit lose, now tightened. But I still have a slight tick when the body tilts to the right, no other angle. It stops when leveled. Anything else come to mind that might do...

I removed the backplate and aligned the motor, it was out about a 1/4 turn. 95% better, I still have a seizure went body banks to the right. Any ideas?

So there does not appear to be any physical damage, I worked on the ribbon ends slightly and maybe we have touched the issue, the result is a different movement. Maybe completely reseating the ribbon ends would be the next step unless someone recognizes the symptom specifically.

There are plenty of gimble dance threads but not quite like mine that I found.

Just gimble overload after about 30 seconds, one hard landing last year, a dozen flights since then no problems. Never started with lock in place. I don't have much experience fixing anything less than 9500lbs UH-1. Did that for 26 years. these little guys are a challenge.

Out of the blue at startup the gimble has issues, am I looking at a major failure?
