Smith Corona Galaxie carriage problem

First off, I know next to nothing about typewriters but my daughter bought a Smith-Corona Galaxie at an antique store and it's visually in decent shape so I thought it might be fun to see if I can get it operational. The first and most obvious issue is that when i released the carriage lock (which took my a few minutes lol) the carriage is loose if that makes sense? It goes immediately to the left. There is a little resistance there, it's not a free as it is if I pull the carriage release lever (yes I found a manual on line, that's how I know these fancy technical terms) but it still won't stay put. Thanks for any help!
