I thought the manual for the M2 antenna specifically warned about this. That the feed line should droop off the back? Last time I monkeyed up with antennas, I even made this change. Not sure if this made a difference, though, as I had another issue that turned out to be my real problem.

I always ran my feedline along the boom of the antenna to the crossboom. Then along the crossboom back to the AZ/EL rotator with a loop around the rotator.
Same here.
