Head set still loose

I replaced my 1 1/8" fork on my MTB. Everything went well except the head set is still loose. I inserted the star nut the exact same distance as my last fork (after cutting the steering tube), replaced all the spacers, tightened the head set screw, then tightened the stem on (really tight/bad, I know), but still there is movement when I hold the front break and move my bike back and forth. What could be wrong?

Is is important to know I switched from sprung to unsprung?
