help with fuzzy bars!

So I finally bought myself a strobe that syncs to my camera, and now I'm getting white bars appearing everytime the strobe flashes. (Please see the attached image.) Some background on the problem: this only happens when the strobe fires, the bars are on the side of the image where the strobe is, and the lens is clean.

Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this, and more importantly how to get rid of it?

Thank you in advance.

just for fun, can the strobe be moved further away maybe to the other side of the lens?

Bill, I'll give that a try. It seems to me that the plastic sync cable end may be reflecting some of the light. I may try to cover that up and see what happens.
