You chose to use the original V-shaped retaining groove in the sleeve instead of Lyle's suggestion for a flat bottomed slot.
As I explained in my comment in part 2 of the video, The purpose of the groove is to both retain the sleeve in place and to force it's shoulder up against the block.
The 1" dimension in the diagram for the block should show the hole for the grub screw offset just enough to have the screw press only on the inside edge of groove to remove the need for precision dimensions. Lyle identifies this as a manufacturing error in part 3, but I believe it to be intentional and correct.
As explained this same feature is used on camera lens T-mounts to sideload the attachments during assembly.
