You guys have your bearing in backwards. The flange is supposed to be on the inside. We also noticed a problem where the standoff pockets are too deep. You will be receiving washers to fix this problem. The bearing is moving because it is not seated in the plate properly due to the reversed installation.

Please contact customer support to get more details.
