Lego Yamacha gearbox problem

[PossibilityNotNow]

Hi I am just assembling a yamacha model from lego technic no 42159 and I have a problem assembling the gearbox. The instructions show that the letters F and G on part no 6447081 should be perfectly aligned however I am not able to do that. I am attaching pictures and please give me some hint.

I cant upload photos directly here so there is a link to imgur https://imgur.com/a/XF7gNOF

You can embed from any site not just Flickr including imgur. Just need to post the image link "https://image.png" into the post.

@PossibilityNotNow
Either you have a defective moulded part (axle not aligned with outer contour) and have to contact customer service for replacement or you are building a knock-off set from China. The alignment should be perfect with an axle in between the parts no matter how you rotate them. Notice the yellow gears tooth tips are also in-line with F and G.

And how it should look like inside the gearbox:

Probably a badly formed block. I've already written to Lego, we'll see what they say about it.

That wouldn't surprise me considering that this is a very complex part. Next time contact them through the chat instead of contact form because they send out the replacement part order immediately.

There is a chat on a lego website? Where?

Edit:

Did you mean to call them ?

No, I meant chat message. But seems it's region locked and not available for you in Poland.

Naa, don't think so - you need to reach 10 posts, and then the messaging feature is avialable.

Best,
