So long story short I had a nasty crash and the yaw arm completely snapped in half. Instead of shipping out to be repaired I decided to do it myself. I got a new yaw arm, yaw and roll motors, and a new ribbon cable. I finally got everything put back together and looking brand new until I turned on my P4 and the camera is tilted and looking to the right and I'm completely confused on how to fix it and need alittle advice on what I should do from here.

Try to do the gimbal calibration with the phantom sitting on it's back motors.. Like in the picture.. This makes it do a few more calibrations to find center for the yaw motors.

Okay so I tried that method and I tried every other way possible. The back, front, right side and left and still nothing. But I think it made the tilt worst. Plus the whole yaw arm itself is super hot if that makes it any worst.

If you already tried IMU and gimbal calibrations without success, then it would be best just to send it in for service.

Just out of curiosity. In your 2nd picture, does the corner of the camera make contact with the gimbal mount (round part)?
