I'm pretty confident I have everything in the correct order. From bottom: fork crown race, bearing, bearing, centering ring, the dust cap, then obviously spacers, stem, and top cap. There is 3-4mm of space between the top of the steerer and stem. It's not super alarming, it just feels a lot tighter than it ever felt on my 722. Like it's either tight or loose, there doesn't seem to be a happy-medium.
