Yeah, in messing with it, it just seems that somehow the tray is not matching up with the hole. Will see how I can adjust it when I can open things up.
Ok so yeah that is tweaked. Will need to disassemble further and see if I cam straighten ot out. 
Some other shots of the insides just because.

You might have this sorted already, but it is either broken plastics or (more likely) it is just inserted wrong into the attachment guide (plastic frame, under the CD), You should be able to just push gently upward on the middle tab that is protruding slightly under the CD and pull the CD assembly out (not too much because the cables will still be connected in the rear of the CD). Then check the plastics and if nothing is broken, just align it correctly (so it is horizontal, instead of at an angle) and re-insert the CD.
