Yes, but the actuator issue was on the second stage not the first stage, which is the one they will try to recover.

With the new launch time being bumped up by 1 hour, it will make the launch and recovery effort take place in pre-dawn darkness. Not sure how easy it will be to observe the landing attempt should it be video streamed.
