Here is a screencast of how to fix this issue. The slot is not fully dimensioned, so if you get the dimensions from the origin to one side of the slot vertically and horizontally, it will constrain it. The slot will turn black after it is dimensioned vertically, but it is not fully defined. It will need to be dimensioned horizontally as well or else the slot can still be moved around horizontally

I used Midpoint Constraint, instead of the 5 mm dimension, otherwise it is the same as the video. My sketch was side ways for some reason.
