The knob and the skirt are two separate parts to allow for the adjustment of
the "drag" of the knob. The manual explains this adjustment to suit the
operator.
To center skirt with the knob, rotate the knob and observe where on the
skirt is off, then grab the skirt with one hand and the knob with the other.
Push the skirt up or down in order to center it, spin the knob to check
centering. You might have to do this a second or third time until it is
just right. There is enough friction, so once this is adjusted, it will not
require any further adjustment. There is no mechanical defect with the
knob.

I think this is one of those things where you either get hung up on this or
you don't. My Omni VI's knob has a slight wobble--I couldn't care less.
I'll say this for the Orion, at least it has two decent tuning knobs. I
noticed the IC7800 has one standard knob and a dinky. It also continues the
ICOM "tradition" of using tiny stem knobs on the bottom of the f.p. for
things like rf power, something I adjust way too often to want to use a
micro knob for.
