1/22: I read Micah's suggested steps to take. I took out light guide bundle 407 and looked at how far the screw was sticking out of the front collar. It looks like the screw is barely protruding from the collar if it is at all, so that screw seems to be the right length. There is a little plastic from tapping sticking out around the screw hole, but it doesn't seem likely to scrape against the wheel.

I checked bundle 407 for flaring. I need to learn the fiber numbering scheme being used in the lab, but for now I have my own, which involves placing the bundle on the styrofoam as if it were time to polish. The top of the bundle is then the uppermost side when the fibers are put against the wheel, and there are 6 rows and 5 columns. Looking at the end of the bundle to be polished, fibers 1 to 5 in my own scheme are in the top row from left to right, and each row below includes the next 5 fibers counted left to right. Therefore the bottom row consists of fibers 26 to 30.

Using my personal numbering scheme, I can say that in bundle 407 fiber 15 has the most evident flaring. I think I have identified it as the one with three pale orange bands and one pink band.
