Tolerances... fun.. normal...
Your plumbing should be secured/clamped such that its not an issue but I think you just need to work the valve back and forth many times and see if it loosens up some..
I've never taken one apart but you "may" be able to reduce the preload on the rotating assembly by slightly loosening that threaded cap below the handle.. (But I'm making an assumption there)
