If the one on the C is in a different position, remove the screw & just change it to match that of the one that works.

I've had the IIIc for about 25 years, and there's a minor problem with it that's been irritating me for the duration. Its baseplate is only locked closed if I lock it half-way -- in other words, between what should be the open and closed settings. There's no obvious sign of damage, but if I try to lock it all the way, it pops open just as easily as if it's set to the open position. Has anyone seen anything like this? Weird! Bruce
