My guess for the op is crossed the wires. I did it the other day easy mistake.

Plug wires not on right or opti not indexed correctly (yes, it can be put on wrong).

i dont see how it could be anything else but the opti put on incorrectly if it doesnt slide on smoothly up to flush against the block then its not on correct. if done it before im sure everybody has.
