Rode psa1 piece of metal sticking out

[Cygi]

Hello and welcome,

 

Today I noticed a screw sticking out of my rode psa1 boom arm. It was screwed into some piece of plastic. I remember having some problems with that part but it was ages ago. When I unscrewed it the plastic broke and the screw went flying across my room revealing this piece of metal which looks to be a part of internal mechanism. Boom arm works fine, even better, I’m now able to fully extend its length (I wasn’t able to do that before). When fully extended it makes some scraping sound but nothing bad. Nevertheless this sticking part worries me so I’d be thankful for any tips on how to repair it or which part of the mechanism it is. Thank you in advance ^^

That part should be inside the arm. 

Another thing which would solve the previous problem
 
If you tighten or loosen that it changes the tension of the arm so you can position easier. Once you get that screw perfectly position the arm will move easily but stay in place once let go.
