Not much room in the headtube for the clamp to engage since the top tube and bottom tube have an opening inside the headtube. See the pic below.

The top tube and down tube have nothing to do with it, since the wedge is inside the steerer.

Oh, and MAKE SURE the wedge isn't inside the threaded part of the steerer. It MUST be completely below the threads.
