Error Msg 5100 and Slamming Cartridge Carrier on Canon MX330

Hi, I am having some problems with my Canon MX330 printer. Any help would be appreciated!

First the Encoder/Timing strip came off. With a lot of effort I was able to get it back in place. It wasn't damaged, and I cleaned it with Isopropyl Alcohol as the instructions on the site directed. But now I am getting a 5100 error and the cartridge carrier (I guess the printing head unit?) is slamming against the right side whenever I turn it on. I can't find any paper or anything obstructing inside. I blew out the dust.

What is going on? Please help!
