Trouble with gear box

We assembled a gearbox, applied power and discovered that the Waldes retainer washer sits on the CIM motor shaft such that is "scored" the large gear. It appears the retainer is a fraction larger than the diameter of the motor shaft. No real damage but we are concerned. We followed the assembly directions to the letter. Anyone experience the same thing? Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.
