does the D2 have a locking knob on the bottom that needs to be loosened before raising the head ? on the D5 it's on the bottom of the carriage, facing user, below the elevation crank.
notch codes ? I only use one film...
There are 4 rollers riding between the column and the carriage, they look like small train wheels. Check those for alignment.

Sounds misaligned, it should be fairly easy to put them back on track.
Best way to work on it would be to set it on a table allowing access from all sides.
I had to double check mine to confirm, the shafts that the guide wheels are on
are off center drilled, so the become an eccentric shaft.
You can loosen the screws on either end of the shaft and rotate the shaft
so the wheels make contact with the rails, there is a hole drilled thru the shaft
just for that purpose ( stick an allen key in it to act as a handle to rotate ).
Just make sure the lamp housing and condenser are removed.
