Default SDX-SWM Swashplate and Flybar Misaligned

Okay guys, I have a big problem here. I have a new Hirobo SDX –SWM with a 120 ° setup and the head is misaligned with the swashplate. If you look down from above and line the front ball joints up on the swashplate the flybar is skewed to the right about 8°. Two other experienced builder/pilots have confirmed that I have it assembled per manual. Either Hirobo has sent me some wrong parts or something is machined wrong here. (I can tell you, flying it like this has been a real interesting experience) Unlike the sceadu, there is no adjustment to the washout assembly because the pins go directly into the head. The only easy solution I can see is adding spacers behind the washout control arm to pull the radius arm outward. I would need approximately 1/8” width of spacers and longer bolts. Has anyone else had this issue or know if there is a different radius arm that does not reach is as far inward but still fit the radius control arms? Opinions?

Thanks!
