Most of the comment of not the proper seating does contribute to less space, not more. The suggestion of smaller balls makes sense too.
Did you remove the crown race? One of the ones I removed had excessive paint under it. But that didn't make any difference in my case, so why did I mention it? Just another variable to consider.
