Hey mate,
Did you get both of the bearings out of your old knob and put them into the rcs knob, one on either side? They are really hard to get out of the original knob. I couldnt get one out of my certate i-knob and only put one in the rcs knob and it would undo itself. I didnt realise that there were two bearings in the knob haha.
Otherwise maybe make sure the bearing is in correctly and clicked in place.

I have had the problem before the screw would just
Undo.
I now put a spot of threadlocker(loctite)
On the screw and never had a problem since.

Just to add to the confusion, some Daiwa reels don't have two bearings. Just the one bearing on the screw side of the knob and a bush on the handle side.

my old knob just had two little round plastic things no bearings
