2009 cbr1000 fork seal replacement, new seals set too far?
I recently did a fork seal replacement on my 2009 cbr1000, all oem parts.
1 seal had a decent dripping leak, the other was not leaking. I ended up replacing both, but now the one that was not leaking leaves the fork tube slightly moist.
Is it possible I set the fork seal too deep? I took 2 pictures of the seal and there is a decent gap between the seal and clip that locks it in.
I used a fork seal driver, didn't notice any damage on the tube.
Any ideas?

The washer they actually list as a backup ring. Ive replaced fork seals in other bikes no issues. Just unsure if the seal went in too far or it was defective.
I have a spare, will put another new one in again and see what happens.

Its definitely in there. What happened was the place I bought it sent me 1 incorrect seal, so I had this side sitting in the garage for a week wrapped in a plastic bag, its possible there is a piece of dirt that I missed during reassembly.
Ill put another new seal in tonight.
