Believe it or not, Bachs and many other really fine brands will permit us to put in the valve backwards. Try turning it 180 degrees. The part that sits under the valve spring, a ring with two T-shaped flanges coming out, can be seated backwards. Mess with that a bit.
This may help, it may not.
Good luck!
