Alignment is critical.
If someone worked on front end... fork rubber dougnuts could have rotated too.
The dougnuts develope a crease over time that makes locking and unlocking smooth.
If doughnut is rotated the crease is no longer so it takes a while to crease again.
That is why some bikes require a pull or push of bars to lock.
Got the alignment tool in, it’s not my alignment. It’s gotta be the tumbler. Still won’t lock in when installed on the bike, won’t unlock forks or give me any power
