Just installed the huben power regulator on my zelos .25....it's screwed in all the way but it's slightly loose with slight side to side and up and down movement. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I did and it was still loose. Huben replied and said my clocking was off therefore the set screw was not seated correctly.

Yes, there are indents in the plenum the grubs screws seat in. If you remove the screw and rotate the plenum you can see them go by.

hello, just read your concern about the fit of the Huben on a Zelos 25 cal. I have the exact same issue as you described. For me, clocking, indexing, realigning etc etc did nothing to correct the issue. As far as I can tell, the inner piece of the Huben that threads onto the rifle is bottoming out too soon and allowing a gap between the rifle and the Huben. I've not heard back from Huben regarding this so I hoping you found a cure.
UPDATE: So I took everything back apart and put it back together thinking I had possibly missed something. That is when I noticed that the 2mm Craftsman brand allen wrench as well as all of my 2mm allen bits would rotate ever so slightly when trying to tighten the set screws. So I tried a T8 Torx bit instead and was able to get the set screws to tighten fully, thus eliminating the looseness of the regulator. My guess is that since a 2mm allen wrench is loose and a 5/32" is too big, that the set screws are poorly manufactured.
