REL HT 1508 Repair

To jump to the point, voice coil rub. Currently have it setting after adding a shim and soaking the spider with acetone.

It reads 4.5 ohm resistance and there is continuity. The symptoms are a very loud hum/buzz whenever sound goes through it. It is a higher pitched sound. It also, makes a slight buzz when no sound is passing through. If I push the cone down at idle, and it starts to rub, the slight hum almost goes away.

From the picture below, is this normal? Or is this a problem on top of the misalignment. Thank you!
