An edge ring is configured to be raised and lowered relative to a substrate support, via one or more lift pins, in a substrate processing system. The edge ring is further configured to interface with a guide feature extending upward from a bottom ring and/or a middle ring of the substrate support during tuning of the edge ring. The edge ring includes an upper surface, an annular inner diameter, an annular outer diameter, a lower surface, and an annular groove arranged in the lower surface of the edge ring to interface with the guide feature. Walls of the annular groove are substantially vertical.
