H1 Out of Observing for SQZ Alignment Tweak

I took H1 out of observing from 01:58 to 02:08 UTC  (3:50 into lock stretch, soon after L1 lost lock) to touch up SQZ alignment since high frequency noise didn't look great. I used the SCAN_ALIGNMENT_FDS and SCAN_SQZANG_FDS states in the SQZ_MANAGER Guardian to do this, and it looks like high frequency noise has improved, but I can't say the same for range (see attached trend of DARM BLRMS above 500Hz and range).

It seems that running these SQZ alignment optimization states somehow made range worse?

EDIT: attaching SQZ BLRMS comparison before/after alignment
