Exclamation Braking help

Hey guys - just got a chance to fly my new jet this weekend and it has the new dream works pro link electric braking system. I have the system to brake at 50 percent and on pulsate mode on 9 which is really not much stopping power. The problem is I taxied it around and would notice that it would grab one or the other wheel more than the other. I took the wheel apart and found that the screws protrude the steel plate by a millimeter or two. The directions specified to use these screws so I put it back together and it seemed to stop. I took off and when I landed the jet came to a stop the left wheel had seized itself to the magnet bad. I used a hammer and screw driver to separate the magnet and steal plate. What is causing this problem? It doesn't say to put grease on the magnet, any info would help me out.

Thanks, Allen Leblanc
