An easy fix (can't tell if it's already implemented) would be to make the gearbox slightly asymmetrical so the center CIM pinion only meshes with one of the two gears next to it.
Edit: Rather than relying on the screws to position the CIM, why not use the boss on the front of the CIM to position the motor with more precision by shrinking the current clearance hole?
