Default CamPS wobbling at idle? HELP PLEASEEE

Alright, so I had to drill and tap my CamPS bolt in the block to a 3/8ths after the original CamPS retainer bolt broke off in the block.

I had a feeling there was more to it then just a bolt breaking.
So now when the car is running at idle (worst wobble)
the entire cam synchronizer / oil pump drive
wobbles back and forth. Im not talking about like a vibration,
Im talking about an insane amount of wobble.


Im scarred for obvious reasons. Breaking a new $400 dealer part,
The OEM part managed to spin the pressed on gear off the shaft.
Napa part had the gear spin off in a similar way.

There is more issues here someone help me figure it out please.

Also might help to know that the teeth on the gear are getting worn out very quickly.


What are some possible issues here?
