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.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files!

New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

You have less Y travel on that machine.
