NO NO NO NO NO NO. Everything is ok with your case.

Please reattach the original Doepfer spring and check whether the
distortion still occurs. If it does NOT occur, then you know the fault
is the new spring. If it DOES still distort withthe original spring,
then send the module back to Thomann with the original spring.
