Ensure the NATO clamp lever is fully engaged or that the 1/4"-20 screws are securely tightened. Check if the mounting surface on your cage is flat and free of debris.

Make sure the NATO rail is properly attached to your cage and that the clamp is aligned correctly. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the clamp from sliding onto the rail.
