Default To much play in feathering shaft

Got a small problem with the F shaft and blade grip. Got it all together last night after a little crash,

But now I cant seem to get the blades to line up when I spool it up. I got tape(red/white) on the blades an I can clearly see two blades when i get the speed up a bitt(they are lined up at low rpm, but when I give some more rpm they start to get out of line. But I had to adjust the linkage out of the box when i got it, so I thougt just some small adjustments to the linkage now and it would be good to go.
But no matter what I do, either the red marked one is higher (and then I adjust i bitt) and then the white marked is higher.
So I looked at the shaft and the grips, and if I take the blade and bend it gently up and down I notice there is a great deal of play, seems to me that the o rubber rings are to shoft, and there is a limit as to how tight I can screw the 5,5 nutts to the shaft .Anybody tried to swich them with other brands? I will try to rebuild the shaft as you guys figure this one out 4 me..
