OK, I have had issues with aftermarket points i the past. I will not use them any longer.

The eccentric screw for the points can be used in such a way that the eccentric(cam) part of the screw is closer or further from the pivot point of the points. Hope this makes sense. This can affect how much the points will move. so you may want to try turning the eccentric screw a half turn from where it is and try your adjustment process again.
