Small motion detected on stuck SHERLOC dust cover (Sol 1069)

Comparing recently downlinked images from Sol 1069 (22 Feb 2024), the partially closed (and apparently stuck) dust cover for SHERLOC seems to have opened by a few more degrees.

SHERLOC is one of the mission's primary instruments, used to detect organic molecules and identify minerals. Losing the full use of this instrument would be a problem.

The following sequence of images, taken several minutes apart, will show the dust cover's motion:
