Spent 2 hours hunting down a wobble in my monitor arm

Had this annoying shake every time I typed. Tracked it to the wall plate. Not the desk. Took a level to it. The drywall anchor was slightly bent from when I first installed it last summer. Replaced it with a toggle bolt for $3 at Ace. Solid as a rock now. Anyone else discover a simple fix after way too much troubleshooting?

Oh man, I once spent three hours tightening a screw that was already tight enough.

THREE HOURS?! Oh man, that is brutal. I can't believe you actually sat there watching the screw for three whole hours. What kind of screw was it, like on a piece of furniture or something? I would have given up after like 20 minutes and just assumed it was broke. That's dedication but also kind of crazy, honestly. It makes me wonder if you felt the little click or skid when it was already seated and just kept going anyway. You must have been so mad when you figured it out.
