Tonti centerstand wavy washer question

[gearman]

In trying to get my stand to come up in one swoop I took out the washers. I noticed that the gap is not symetrical ,the gap wants to be on one side or the other. I have always installed the washers sat to the out side or inside, but without the washers the gap wants to be on the right. Confused?Even without the washers the stand won't go up in one swoop like all the other bikes I have owned.
