Kevin, as far as I remember, his kit is just an outer ring for the bearing track & a smaller ring to make up the I’d of the inner race, so did the top yoke fit right before?
Some things to check, are the tracks driven home properly, are the new bearings the same depth as the old ones, have the tops of the forks been shortened,
They do vary in length, measure from the top face of the bottom clamp to the top of the tube, also, the top yoke should sit in the fork leg at least an inch.
I have fitted those kits before, cheap & tacky, but do work, so I would back track to see if you can see the problem.
