My side stand sometimes hangs up on the center stand. This happens after I take a ride and then try to put the side stand down. It seems to go over top of the kick stand preventing me from swinging the side stand down. Has others had the same issue and possibly found a solution?

Inspect it, maybe it's missing a bolt or bent

There is a yoke around the side side tang that seems a bit splayed. That said I’m sure there must be some allowance for the movement/retraction of the side stand. I can’t find anything in the service manuals so was hoping others may have run across this problem and were able to solve it. When retracted sometimes the side stand will slip over top of the kick stand. That means my foot can’t push the side stand down. I have to get off the bike and then pull the side stand over the kick stand before it will rest on the ground. It only happens occasionally.
 
Also a little weird is that the center stand, when up, does not raise the wheels up off the ground enough. I’ve been putting small blocks under the center stand to get it up high enough to rotate the wheels. Is the height adjustment for the center stand?
