Well built enclosure but board at back stops optical drive from inserting all the way

How can I put this? It just stopped functioning after a few hours. I'd just used it sporadically so returning it within a reasonable time wasn't an option. Buyer beware! Really wish I had my money back because it only functions now as a paperweight. Alas.
