    105 foot pounds!   That slipped cable core would surely explain things.   Keep in mind that the cable core is supposed to be “kinked” when tightened so it would hold its position even if the cable clamp loosens up.

    Back off one of the set screws, now draw the other one in until it contacts the cable core/wire.  Now give it another full turn if possible to “kink” the core wire.  Once kinked, tighten the other set screw.
