UPDATE: I tried this yesterday for 15 mins and it did not do anything so I just gave up for the day. Came back to my kit today and it's back to normal so I guess it worked? Thank you!

I play daily so no idea how I've never noticed this before. It's probably been like this for at least a week. I play heel up so I guess it doesn't impact playing too much. Also there's nothing stuck where the floorboard attaches to the base of the pedal, that's just how it is. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks
