Have you tried recessing the mount hole on top of the perch?

Did you compare the mirror to your old left-hand mirror, to see if the working stem is of equal length?
If not, I would take the mirror back and ask for an exchange.
The threads are the same the metal on the mount is thicker on the master cylinder side.Ill see how much i could drill the top.

I know that when I have trouble keeping a mirror from moving, it is the left.  That is because the wind pressure is trying to loosen it, while on the right-hand mirror, the pressure is trying to tighten it.

This is a picture of my bike, with BMW long-stem mirrors.
I use nothing but a wave washer, a nylock nut, and a lot of torque (grunt).
