I bought an Epomaker RT100 keyboard from our friends at the people's republic of China and the space bar was loose in the box when I opened it.

To me it looks like the rubber gaskets (?) weren’t seated correctly so I realigned them so they were flat.
I thought that would be an easy fix so I reseated the switch and the key. Unfortunately that didn’t fix it completely. The key works but it sits higher than the keys adjacent and has a different sound to the rest of the keys (it’s a bigger key so maybe to be expected?)
Is there anything else I can try? I’d rather not have to return it as first impressions other than the space key are very positive.
