WBSC3 ITMX ailing HEPI sensors Update

re 14488, I switched the ITMX H1 L4Cs and saw that the large L4C offset stays with the channel and not with the sensor itself.  With the Pier Pod powered off, the epics reading remains at -4300cts so the problem is down stream of the Pier Pod.  McCarthy and I will revisit this next week or whenever we can.

The IPS problem noted in 14488 has not resolved although I thought I had found a problem.  The sensor flag stands between the IPS sensor element pair and it looked like the flag was touching the Sensor Holster wall--I was unable to slip a piece of paper between them.  I've spotted this on a few Actuators and thought rubbing was the problem.  However, attached is Spectra taken at 1230 today and there is little changed even though I had made sure it was well clear.  There is another potential rubbing spot (right near by) but I failed to look this morning.  See the second attachment here where I point to the two rubbing locations.
