I have three different 7u spacebar keycaps, and with all of them the right stab sockets is under stress as shown above. When I remove the keycaps, the stabs are free from stress and in perfect place ... :'(

Update: still don't know what the problem was, but I found another stab socket and replaced the old one. Now everything works again!!

Good you got things working again.

Maybe the problematic stabilizer wasn't locking properly into the PCB and so it kept popping out?

@Infinity Hard to say, maybe ... Even the "ill" stab sockets looks alright, just as all the other ones, when I examine it. Still clueless but problem solved.
