serious help please!

hello members i am having a terrible time trying to collimate my c11
let me begin by saying i have collimated it before reading legaults(?) process

i have not mounted my c11 for quite a while but was amazed to see it not even in the ballpark when i checked it last night and for the life of me i was only able to make it worse ........... unbelievable!

this morning i read about collimation during day light hours and gave it a go and it seemed a little more intuitive to me and i seemed to get things a little closer .......... but, i have known about this for quite some time, my whole baffle tube can spin very easily in the corrector and has about 2mm of lateral (slop) movement when jiggled
i tried to video it on my phone but it would not download
when i twist it (no effort at all involved) i can see a thin "gasket" moving with the whole assembly on the inside of the corrector

this has been bugging me for nearly a year now people and it is beginning to get me down, i have saved up a lot of money to get what i have but my poor c11 is basically useless as is

help!
