Turns out that my m3 and coupler didn't flex as much as I thought they would to compensate for any flaws.  It was still stiff enough to flex the bed with at least the tolerance of the bushings.

This is the coupler, all I did was get them hand tight and backed off a bit.  I did add some lithium grease for good measure.
