In general, timing recovery algorithms attempt to locate and track the "center" of a symbol and output an estimate of what the symbol value is at that point. They also work best when they are preceded by a symbol matched filter; this both improves signal-to-noise ratio and results in a peak near the center that the recovery loop is designed to find.
In your case, your symbol is a rectangular pulse 7 samples wide, of bipolar amplitude. A matched filter for this symbol shape is simply a moving average filter of the same period. If you add one of these ahead of the MM block, it will sync up quite easily.
