My question is with regard to the fill valve. When I flush, the water drains normally, the flapper comes down, but the fill valve doesn't fill the tank unless I give it a little nudge.

It appears that the while the arm comes down, it doesn't come down far enough to trigger the water refill action.

Is this a relatively easy fix, or do I need a new fill valve?
Get one of those QuietFill valves that don't have an arm. I changed all my toilets to this Korky one a couple years and haven't had any issues whatsoever. Can find them locally at Home Depot/Canadian Tire too.

Super easy to install, maybe like 30-45min per toilet.
