The fix could also be a software related issue considering this booster was coming in a bit faster than usual as per Scott Manley's video on the matter. The software change could be as small as keep the other engines lit for a tiny bit longer to correct for any observed flight deviations. Or better flight deviation detection. The difference in speed is small enough that changes to landing event timings could be tweaked by a single second for instance.
