Stealthburner getting stuck before hitting end stop (self.vorondesign)

I've recently assembled a Voron Trident. When trying to home the printer, the stealthburner appears to be getting stuck before hitting the horizontal (x?) end stop. I can push it manually to the switch, but it feels tight. I don't know if perhaps the belt is loose or if there's something else I should be looking for. Movement seems fine outside of that one spot, so I'm not sure if it's the belt.

Any help appreciated!

Edit: Scratch that. Not the belt. The motor itself is stopping, so there's resistance from something that I can't identify.

The motor stops rotating? Is it still trying to step or is it not trying to? If it's trying you'll hear it and see the whole thing jiggle some as the coils energize.

If you pull your belts off the carriage (or remove tension until you can pop them off the motors) can you slide the carriage the length of the gantry without a change in resistance?
