I'm guessing this is a custom plate and this is an issue I ran into similarly, basically the stem of the stabilizer is being forced into the side of the stabilizer housing. To fix it I took a sharp knife and just shaved down a bit on the top lip of the housing then lubed them as much as I could.

Are these stabs clipped? Clipping MIGHT fix this issue.

It's working now. Problem was that I didn't cut enough deep  :)
