Default Sunroof loose and pinch sensor issues

Hi all. I've done searches here and read about sunroof rattles when open or in moon roof. But my issue appears to be different.

It seems that one side of my sunroof has a loose bolt or something. The front right dips down about a centimeter when looking at it from outside. I can Also easily push the sunroof up and down causing a rattling sound. *The left side does not have any of these issues. See picture below.

Also, it seems that since one side sags, it is setting off the pinch sensor when the roof closes. When I open it it, and then close it fully, it will close until the last notch where it gets stuck and then opens again. The only way to close it is to put the dial on the last notch before its fully closed and then close it. *See video.

My car is an 06, so it's out of warranty. Just wondered if anyone had this issue or have any idea how to fix it. Thanks everyone.
