aren't those expander plugs not the best design in terms of distributing the expanding force over a very small area?
When I did road bikes I noticed that Cannondale provide some quite different recommendations on steerer length and set up compared to other brands.
I think the Tl;dr was no spacers above the stem - so you don’t need a longer bung.
