I posted a few pics, i took a short video of the arm moving across but the file i think is too big to upload here... you'll see in one pic the platter itself looks to be higher on the left then the right, but just slightly. Hope these pics help...

B&O 5500 turntable arm issue

The platter height is not the problem.
If the subchassis sits too high, the carriage and tonearms will sit high too since they are moving together.
Good photos, but I can't see the steel rails right side holder in any of them.
Take off the platter,
push the carriage towards the center as far as it will go,
remove two screws from below along the right edge of the Beograms bottom plate (Beogram placed so that
its right side sticks out 10cm over a table edge),
carefully lift up the right side of the top chassis (it's hinged to the bottom plate along the left side), careful as it passes
the carriage housing (particularly if the carriage rails are off their holders!).
Note there is (often but not always) a small metal stand at the rear, near the left side, that can catch on the bottom plate as you
swing the top open and will need a little help, it will go into a small hole at the rear edge to keep the top of the Beogram standing at an angle.
Now you can see what is going on and take a photo or two of the area of the right side rail holder.

Great directions!
Here's some new photos... there's 2 areas i added a red arrow to, one because im not sure the white plastic rod and the clip its sitting in front of is right - and other is the possible culprit i think...
the smaller of the 2 metal rods, its holder on the right side looks like its broken and the rod possibly needs to be pushed down further (?)....
Thanks Martin!
That seems to have worked!!
Thank you again for helping out, so appreciated!!!
Now if i can just get that CD issue fixed :)
