As RC said, gears rubbing against non-moving parts = huge friction increase.

Could the clear plate that the CIMs mount to be machined wrong, or we are putting the motors into it wrong? The CIMs coming out the back are at a slight angle, unlike, our working gearbox, which has the CIMs coming out straight.

Slight angle sounds like an assembly problem, honestly. No machining errors should make your CIMs come out anything but perpendicular to that plate. Are the screws tightly fastened? The CIM should be pressed flush against the plastic piece during installation.
