The fixed contact can be bent a slight amount but they may be brittle. If the bimetal is moving and it's contact is touching the fixed contact and nothing is happening, there could still be a hard oxide buildup on the contact surfaces. It could be the bimetal is not making a good solid contact at 7 seconds and needs some continued heater time to bend the bimetal more to provide increased pressure.

If another go with a cleaning doesn't improve the time then you could try a small bend to change the position of the surface area where the contacts are meeting.

Hh.

Can you buy just the point contact?. Trying put it on that would be involved.
