Greg: Dean is right and you are taking that advice. One thing, not all gun smiths know these guns, so you might want a recommendation from forum members. If you post your location, I'm sure you will get info on a Parker competent smith somewhere reasonably close.

The floor plate is definitely not seated and the screws are not aligned correctly. Someone may have tried to seat the floor plate by pulling it in with the screws, rather than seating it by hand and then tightening the screws. Also, the left and right screw are not interchangeable. Those screws may be stripped now, which would be a pain.

One can do this themselves, but you need some proper tools, knowledge on proper sequence of dismantling, re-assembly and to be prepared to find something broken inside that will be a pain to find an original or properly made replacement. Not sure just how many screws, parts and springs are ultimately involved but there are many more than you would think when looking at an assembled gun. Good luck with this project.

The floor plate might tighten up. I fear the cocking slide is not aligned. The best bet is to remove the floor plate (be careful of the trip sping and pin under the cocking lever) and place the cocking slide in correct psition then replace the floor plate. The barrels will come off once the floor plate and cocking slide are off the gun. Again, be careful of the trip, spring and pin.
