some gearbox tops have a small burr around where the 4 screw holes are for mounting the carbon brace + nose cones. make sure these are removed so that everything can sit flush. if your xbrace isnt centralised it will cause the extra movment and also the steering to catch. on mine i have used countersunk screws to hold the xbrace down but this does, sometimes require a little fettle with a dremel/hobby knife to make everything smooth. there is a little play in the rear of the propshaft but not a large amount and nothing to worry about normally.I have seen some people drill a hole in the gearbox top and m3 tap it, then use a small grub screw to allow you to wind the play out of the bearing area, as i say i havent had to do this and havent had the problem but did see it used on older preds
