Freehub locks up when I tighten end caps

Fitted an axle conversion kit to a Fulcrum Racing zero wheel. Kit is Campag to allow fitment of Ekar 13 speed freehub / cassette.

All seems fine until I torque up the end caps then the freehub locks. Back off quarter turn and all is okay

I-Ride (Fulcrum distributor) told me the Campag kit would work.

Any ideas? Can I ride it with end caps slightly loose (axle would keep it all together??!?), file a bit off inside of an end cap / end of axle? Or have I got the wrong part?

thanks

Defo no missing spacer? That is the usual issue.

I thought washer too but no washer came out with the old freehub, there’s no washer in the kit, and no washer shown in the assembly manual……………… confused!
