Problem with 3D model in an Autodesk Tutorial

I'm working on the Introduction to Design for Manufacturing Tutorial. I've opened up the Tripod file, and the component labeled "Stand" has flawed geometry. You can find it under Home:Basic Training: 06 - Assemblies : 06_tripod. 

 

I have attached a screenshot to make this problem clear, pay close attention to the slot; it is asymmetrical. 

Look at the slot, it is not on center.Look at the slot, it is not on center.

https://youtu.be/5_Hv9S5D5gM?t=187 in this video, at the 3 minute and 7 second mark you can see how component should look.   The files available on the Fusion 360 Design for Manufacturing Web course have the same problem.

Please attach a "Link" to the actual tutorial.  There are so many out there with similar names, it is hard to determine the specific tutorial you are referring to.

I am assuming, you did not point out the "flawed geometry", it is the slot in Component 22 under the stand2 sub-assembly.  This is a direct model component so it is hard to determine the desired dimensions but I guessed using surrounding features.  Model is attached.  Everything is turned off except the component in question.  I also remove the bright color as it makes editing harder.  If I missed your issue, please clarify with a Screen capture and markup.

I determined, under further inspection, I picked up the wrong slot width.  Here is a corrected model.

Thanks, that did the trick! My original post did have the problematic part pictured, did the photo not load?

Yes the picture was there but to someone looking at it cold and does not know where to look, it takes a bit of time to determine the error.
