Looks like there may be a special setting that put the motor side in "INSTALL SPRING MODE" as right now it goes like an extra 1/8" of an turn misaligning with the valve side.
Yes I ended up reinstalling the spring after my tune and DP. Currently, the valve is functioning normally.

I had to move the valve manually to line up with the actuator. You pretty much won't be able to move the actuator. If you sit the spring in the groove for the valve and then rotate it until it aligns, it should work. If it doesn't, try flipping the spring.

With a little patience it will sit eventually. Just make sure it's not sitting outside the groove, if the actuator moves the spring and it's not in the groove, the spring will fall off.
