Is the nut coming loss or the flywheel spinning on the collet?

If the flywheel is slipping on the collet, I suspect you are not getting the nut tight enough since the collet is a taper/press fit. Make sure you are using a crank locking tool so you can get the nut tight.
Unless the collet needs spacing as already suggested. I believe that is the problem. The clutch nut is simply unable to be tightened enough as the thread stops to soon, so the collect is spaced forward bringing it closer to the thread on the shaft therefore allowing it to be done up tightly

This isn't unusal ............

Hope you get it sorted
