Flexing a Flex Plate?

Below are the pictures of my crank and TC after about 4 months and 1500 miles. The snout of the TC was tight in the crank when I put it together (didn't know better always a stick guy before). Had the proper clearance between the TC pads and flex plate before pulling it forward. Noticed the crank walking one day and found I had about 0.032 crank movement and a wiped thrust bearing.

Good info on TC dimensions and clearances, surprisingly little out there about this.
