There is an end-stop switch for the Y direction. Push the head towards the rear of the printer until you hear the switch click. It should happen when the rod hits the switch (sometimes you have the opposite problem where the rod has slid through the sliding blocks and doesn't hit it at all).
Anyway you want that click that you hear to occur another mm or so farther back.
You can try bending the metal part of the switch but you might break it. You can also loosen the 2 screws on the left side of the printer that hold the switch, then slide the switch towards the rear of the printer and retighten. Go easy when retightening - there are no nuts - the threads are self-tapping in the plastic switch housing and it's easy to strip them so go a little easy on the tightening.
Whatever you do, make sure when you push the head to the back of the printer, you still hear the click before the head stops moving.
We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.

You have less Y travel on that machine.
