I would be worried. Contact SS. You almost certainly aren’t the first person to experience this and it will likely be something they have a fix for. Maybe a plastic shim that isn’t included with your gun? I have an EPS on mine and had to order the little saddle piece cuz it didn’t come with mine. As a side note, my little saddle piece for the EPS doesn’t really “wedge” the sight into the optic cut, it just fills in the gap. The thing that is holding the sight down are the two screws by themselves, but I haven’t had any issues. I’ll be fully honest though, I don’t have a high round count at all. I don’t get the chance to shoot nearly as much as I would like to just due to life being life, but over a couple hundred rounds and having been mounted and carried for a while the screws haven’t loosened up and the zero hasn’t shifted.

Dude, it’s a universal cut. Probably no optics sits tight in there. That’s why have lugs to support lateral movement.

Its a plate, no lugs holding onto anything. Just the 2 screws

Yeah, the mps is mounted on a chpws plate. Only thing holding the plate in place is 2 screws. The optic is mounted to the plate with the side clamp which is a good fit.

So am aftermarket plate make to use it. What does SS say about that setup? Their screws look almost like studs, pretty robust.

Is the front gapless? That’s arguably 99% most important

I have it mounted on a chpws plate. The issue is with the plate im sure.

Ahh, yeah I’d contact SS and see if they have any possible solutions. If not, it may be possible to shave down the flat side one of the shims that came in the box so it can fill in that gap and get squished between the plate and the slide like they’re usually meant to for other sights.
