VERY high peak to peak error on MyT PE - way out of spec

I just got my MyT early last week. I just ran PEC and it came out to a peak to peak error of 24.2 arc seconds. I didn't believe it so I ran it again and got the same result at 23.6 arc seconds. This is way above spec of 7. From peak to valley it is about 27 pixels which translates to 31 arcseconds at my image scale of 1.15 arcsec/pixel. I double checked I ran everything exactly as specified and couldn't find anything wrong in my process. What should I do? I have not been able to successfully use this mount yet, guided or unguided.

edit: adding the full acquisition details here

Scope: Astro-Tech AT106LE

Camera: QHY247C

Scale: 1.15arcsec/pixel

Camera Angle: 359.56 for first couple runs, 0.13 for next few

Tpoint model was on (30 points) - Protrack off - Balance good

Polar alignment was excellent in MA and ME (also confirmed with a second Tpoint run later)
