MCC-H concur with trying the new RSU1 in RSU3.

However, Mass wants to try it one more time.

Mass really wants to try it one more time, but is being overruled.

Big picture:
RSU3 in the thermal bag.
Take out center RSU (RSU1) and try and install it in RSU3's position.

Good not confident this is going to work. MCC-H want a good look at the female end of RSU3 to check for the interference.
Remember, this is priority one for this mission, so not a great situation right now.

Found this in the EVA checklist from L2. Chris hope you don't mind this being posted.

For reference this is a picture of the PIK STIK tool they have been using to handle the RSUs during seating.

Mass thought they really had an alignment that time. Grunsfeld praising them for their efforts.

It's cool, please do (I think NASA released the bulk of that later anyway) but people can post FRR documentation as valid, free run to get any L2 resources into this thread for this issue.

Are they trying RSU1 in 3s position just for troubleshooting to see which part the problem is on? And if, as it often happens, 1 goes into 3s slot and 3 goes into 1s slot are they completely interchangable so they could leave them that way.

Good question, not clear. For some reason, Good or Mass said he doesn't think it'll work, but if RSU1 is good in RSU3's position, I can't see them taking it out again (but I'm guessing!)

Looking at the timeline, the original RSU-1 R&R task (final one of the three) was due to begin around 3:30 elapsed time - we are at about that time now.
