Just a guess, but seems like the set screws on those belt wheels (gears) on that axle are not tight. If they are tight, I think the axle should not move back and forth.
I would gently move the print head away from the belt wheels zone til the belt wheels set screws are easily accessible and then tighten the screws on both belt wheels and see if that stops the sliding.
I think I will loosen the screw, move the axle with the other pulley to its stop, then move the loose pulley to its stop (distance tube) and the tighten the screw - done!
