If that's your only complaint, reinforce the coax arm. Simple, cheap and
effective.
I have an HDX-572 with two runs of RG-213 and two control cables hung off
the top coax arm like you do, with no other supports. I have had no
problems with bending that top arm and the tower is usually up, not down.
You sure someone didn't mess with your tower when you wern't looking? You
sure you didn't get the coax caught the last time you raised it?
