checked the chain length, definitely not that

You can hardly measure cassette wear, even with the correct tools. The best method is testing the old cassette with a new chain. If it skips, the cassette is worn.
It usually happens on a few, mostly used sprockets.
Of course, it could be the too thick, or too much grease on the pawls. Or both those things.
