if you dont put that fire ring in correctly, your wastegate is useless. It fits into the bottom of the wastegate up against the valve, which is manifold side.
the only thing that sucks here is your answer. plenty of ss autochrome wastegates have been used without trouble, sure there have been failed units, but its dumb to just immediately assume thats the problem.
