Slide Propane line pinched

I looked through a few threads and didn't see anything posted on this. I wanted to touch base to see if any of you have dealt with this already and what you may have done to fix this issue. I have thought about replacing the current arm with a new style , a cable track system.

My propane line is getting pinched due to its location with the swing rm for the main slide. My camper is a 2020 37MDQS but this design might be similar to many out there. Here are a few pictures. I didn't take any pictures of the before but right where the line comes out of the manifold and goes up to the swing arm is where the pinch is happening and not allowing enough gas flow for my stove. The line is a 1/2 rubber line. Here are a few pictures. What are your thoughts?

Maybe a little longer line would help.

I had to use tie wraps on mine to keep it from flexing in certain areas. Look for scuffing on the hose and reinforce or tie it back.

We had that problem with are trailer 25.6 Eagle 2010 fridge was in the slide
We took it in and they reposition the line so it would not do that.

Same thing on our 2020 30.5 CKTS. Though I did not have any propane flow restriction, I did find a problem with a 110V wire that was so tight it was pulling on the TV outlet. Investigating that led to discover the entire wiring harness and propane line in our kitchen slide was kinking and straining everything on the swing arm. I was most concerned with the propane, of course. I removed and reinstalled the entire harness, I also moved the propane line manifold so it reduced the sharp angle on the propane line. I can see the need to keep an eye on this forever!
