Ethic deck urgent help

Im riding a tilt fork, tilt scs and an ethic deck. But the compression isn't working and my bars/headset keeps shaking. I've used a combination of different spacers (big/small), but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions or tips?

which bars and headset and are all the parts original in the headset? 2nd thing to check, is the SCS slit once fully tightened level? as in both 1/2s of the scs tighten equally? that is a common mishap with issues like this.

Im riding rad bars and have a district headset. Yes all the parts in the headset is original. I'll bring it to my work tomorrow, i think the crown race isn't installed properly.

You need spacers. Ethic deck headtube are mad short, so with tilt SCS+ fork it needs spacers.

how long is the headtube on the ethic?

and also, would i be able to run a vertx smx that is 6 inches with a full proto scs without any spacers?

I had this problem with my reventon and apex forks, there should be a part in the top part of the headset which is circular with an open part on it, these open parts should only just close or not close at all, i had to cut about 2mm off that so that the ends didn't touch once the compression is tightened. It worked perfect after that, i think it was because the apex fork tube was a bit thinner than usual so this may not help in your case.
