100% guarentee your pedal box will be cracked slightly or all the bushes in it will be tossed.

I put new bushes in mine and also squeezed an extra washer on the bar to help tighten things up.

Mine was like this to start with, but 500 miles later was normal.
Did you fit the gearbox end first, have you tried to reset the auto adjuster, by lifting pedal and pushing the quadrant away, then releasing pedal ?
