Hi, welcome to rcu. Most models have a hole and a slot or two slots so the motor can be slid closer for smaller gears. Is it possible you used both small gears and the motor is at the end of it's travel so the gears don't touch?

Or perhaps are the two teeth not engaging to each other?

I'm going to open my kit and see, cuz I have a brand new one.

I loked at my kit and it shows a 19 tooth pinion and a plastic motor mount that has a different set of holes for each pinion (19-21 tooth) If the correct set of holes are used the gear mesh should be right. I hope I'm understanding your issue. :D
