Product analysis:macroscopic and optical examination revealed thread crest/flank damage; this damage appears to have initiated near the start of the thread, and is evident around the damaged portion of the thread.Functional evaluation with a sample mas head found the set screw was unable to be fully engaged.The above observations are consistent with misalignment of the mas and set screw threads during construct assembly.
