Often you'll get this issue when you're mating something with a hole spacing of 2" exactly with something 1.99654". You're getting slight differences in distance that are negligible in real life due to various reasons (often unit conversion and different tolerance standards).
Right. With the first hole lined up with an adjacent piece, each hole thereafter is progressively more misaligned.

I may be able to correct the spacing in the original SW component. We'll see.
