Has it been ascertained that the hole is in the wrong location?

My money is on excessive side pressure.   I was working on a B dampers
the other day and the first tenor damper was a bit of a chore to get right.
I had to adjust the bends to remove the excessive side bearing, finesse the
angle of the head to the top bend adn sand a little off the back of the head.

One thing, while the upstop rail was up, the top-bend hit the strut 
and clicked.
Possibly not what happened this case but something to bear in mind.
