Focus problem LX200 8" Meade SCT

When I focus, with 9mm or other higher power optic, it seems that I cannot get the image to appear fully in the eyepiece.

If I press a little on the eyepiece assy, I can get it to appear in my field of view.

Has anyone experienced this? Is there a problem w/ my visual back or some other problem?

Could you elaborate a bit more? I'm not quite following the problem.

What are you trying to focus on (just anything?) How are you pressing on the eyepieces (towards the scope, downward...etc).

What diagonal/visual back are you using?

I use my 9.7mm SP and a TV Zoom eyepiece and it focuses fine, so it is definitely something amiss.
