This is the pistol-slide question: your optic is cut for the Docter / Noblex footprint, and the slide in front of you is milled for the Aimpoint ACRO pattern. A Docter/Noblex optic screws down and cannot clamp to an ACRO plate slide.

Match the optic to the cut instead of forcing it. A docter-cut slide, or an acro/mps optic for that slide keeps the sight seated square so it holds zero under slide cycling.
