SRAM PG1170 too wide for the hub?

I'm fitting a SRAM Force 11 speed in a Powerway hub. Somehow it the thing is sitting a bit outwards and the locking is only engaging a few threads.
Looks dodgy, surely something is not right. Checked the hub body, apparently is 11 speed wide. Last cog looks about 2mm out of the hub. Something I'm missing?

I assume you’ve checked there are no spacers on the hub? There is no spacer required for sram cassettes between the hub and the largest cog.

No, there's no spacers. Apparently I'm not the first one that have the same problem with Force 22

I'm absolutely stumped. Only thing I can think of is going to LBS to see if I can try any other cassette

I'd compare both the cassette and the freehub with some that are known to work.

Then you'll know which part is at fault, which will dictate the possible remedies.

Yeah, next logical step to do, not looking forward to remove the cassette of my winter bike :(

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
