James: There can be a 'cumulative' fit error sometimes.
When I assemble a new K3, I leave all of the screws which attach to the 2D connectors (incl. those going thru the RF board holes), slightly loose until I do the final 'snugging' of everything somewhere toward the end of the main assembly process. This usually helps to minimize any possibility of cumulative fit errors. If you have your K3 all built, try loosening all of the EXTERIOR screws which go into a 2D connector, and then retighten them.
