Arm goes down too fast?

We can't go any farther out the back side of the arm or it will be outside the frame at the start of the match. We can't find our surgical tubing, but we have a ton of bungee cords. problem with it right now is that the cords are currently out of the frame perimeter (this IS illegal, right? Its still within the space limits..)
