If you need to undo the pinch bolts, they are too tight and are deforming the axle. I don't care what Johnny Hackett says, there is no way the axle should deform at the torque these bolts are done to.
FWIW on my track bike, I made them a loose fit in the axle and ran a bolt between the two protectors to hold them in place, made the job a lot quicker when swapping from slix to wets.
Without gong all through the previous posts to see if ths has already been mentoned but!!!
Ohlins axle and Showa axle's have different diamaters I believe. When I bought mine Dave asked me what forks are they for. I then bought another set to replace the damaged one and did not menton I had Ohlns forks. The second set are a loose fit, remedied by wrappng P.T.F.E tape around the stem. So if you are fitting bungs that are meant for Ohlns forks, this could be your problem.
I'd imagine the spindle/axle size would be the same, otherwise your front wheel would need to be different from fork to fork???
Saying that mine went in straight away on the 999, but Bob struggled to get them in, I ended up cutting a cross down the length of the bung which allowed the last few mm's to drift in
