did the rotor unseat, or something??? deff odd that its a newer part and its sticking... can you get a dentists mirror- you know, the little round ones that have swivel heads so you can see any angle- and look into the dist. cap to try and see if there is something lodging it? idk, its a random thought, but a thought none the less... good luck!
