Turns out that the washers are wide enough such that it sticks out past the mount and rubs the gear. Essentially it eliminates any of the machined pocket below the gear. I thought it was hitting the chassis, but after I realized it was hitting the washer I dremeled it and all is good.
I was wondering if anyone else reported that issue? Seems like narrower washers are the key, so I'm keeping my eye out for some.
It does NOT rub on the metal gears since those are spaced out from the motor plate side, but the plastic ones have wider gears and sit real snug against the motor plate.

Mine were the right size so that the plastic spur did not rub but had a helluva time getting the screws to fit through the I.D.!!
