I agree it needs to be fixed. There is too much play on the shaft holding the pinion gear (what Lippert calls the spur gear). Looks as though there should be some kind of spacers on the shaft to keep the spur gear centered under the gear rack. Fallen out due to wear or aging maybe? I don't see one that looks exactly like yours in the Lippert manual. But none of those shown have that much play on the shaft. I would send a picture to Lippert and ask what the solution is.
