E19FD Murphy bed hung up

Our Murphy bed was getting caught up and wouldn't lower all the way down. I discovered the latch pin was getting hung up on the square cut out hole on the side wall. I removed the plastic liners inside the right front storage area. Found that the wall had come loose allowing the pin to hang up (see pic). Guess I'll have to figure a way to strengthen this wall. The vertical wood piece is the backing plate for the pin's catch bracket. Not very stable to say the least!
Anyone have ideas for how to strengthen this wall?Click image for larger version

I'd probably try to glue a block to the back of where it's snagging. use some clamps to hold it in place until it cures.

Looks like a 2020 unit, is it still under warranty ? I had a problem with the Murphy bed hinge, many of the screws were not holding and the dealer did a really nice job fixing, under warranty. I have heard that many times the dealer work is not great, but I was impressed.... we really like the Murphy bed model, but rough roads are tough on the bed. I was wondering if it is less stress on the bed to travel with the bed down..
