well...I took the prop off to inspect the hub and it appeared to be seated properly. When I loosened the nut I noticed that it did not take much pressure to back it off... but I expected after testing to re-torque the nut.

After inspecting the hub I installed everything and started to tighten the prop nut and the spacer collapsed. It was just barley more than hand tight and no where close to 50 pounds. I will contact precision propeller and hopefully have a solution soon.

I put a picture of the crushed spacer on my personal page.
