just loosen the small set screw on the bottom and the 2 mounting screws, center the handguard and tighten everything back up

That's a common issue with the Samson handguards. There just isn't enough bearing surface on the barrel nut to keep a long handguard centered. SLR redesigned their mounting system because of a similar issue.

You can realign it but it will just shift again over time. The best fix is to replace it.

STRUTH SPAKE!

There are several other choices out there.  I'm personally torn between the SLR and the Midwest Industries.  I have one of each and like them both a lot.  Both are rock solid.
