• maybe this is normal for other SRAM chainsets

    It is. The spline should be an interference fit, so it should take a reasonable amount of torque to drive it home. The instructions say 48-54Nm, and also suggest that even 54Nm may not get it all the way home (where it traps the NDS bearing and eliminates end float) at the first attempt.
