You assume correctly, there are two different slide types. See LCI.com for guides, owners manuals, troubleshooting guides and helpful videos.
The clicking is an internal torque limiter that protects the gearbox. If this slide ever makes a different noise, stop and pull it in. I had a pin in the gearbox to shear. Did sound strange so I stopped the deployment and retracted.
My couch slide trim also flexes when retracted, never really worried about it. Figure the seals are good and sealed. Not sure if there are rail stops or it works on the torque limiter.
The bedroom slide is a swintek slide by LCI. Totally different. When deploying and retracting, keep the button depressed for about 10 seconds after the slide has stopped. This helps the little stepper motors to stay in sync. You may hear a faint clicking sound, this is normal. Find you controller and understand how to override. Hopefully, you will never need the information.
