Tool 1 and 2 pull with less force

I had to replace the B and C parts in the Chameleon as the tubes fell out of the grips that used the brass compression fittings. I cut the PTFE tubes and they seem to grip well in this. But, it seems tool 1 and 2 pull with less force than 3 and 4 now. Because of this, I printed the +2.0 tension adjusters and put those in. Tool 1 and 2 still pull with less force and have trouble rotating a full spool of filament on a mount (tool 3 and 4 do this fine). Visually, it seems the drive gear is pushed further into the bearings on the tool 3 and 4 side than the tool 1 and 2 side. Any ideas on what I can do to solve this? Thanks.

@Bill im getting this but with tools 2 and 3 and ive tied everything from reprinting the sliders to replacing the drive gears (which are aligned using las vegas's alignment too) . when i put some resistance on tool 2 it seems to have a jumping feel and has very intermittent pulling with some resistance applied and also doesn't look like it puts the same pressure on the filament as tools 0 an 1. with tool 3 however, when i apply any resistance to the filament it stops moving entirely with the drive gear still spinning. im using the mk4 parts with an arduino and cnc shield v3
