It's not the length of the tenon that's the problem - the middle tenon is limited to how long it can be due to the depth of the socket and especially due to the location of the C/G tonehole on the lower joint which limits the depth of the socket. It's more down to the diameter of the tenon being a bit too narrow compared to the diameter of the socket and also Buffet tenons and sockets are very slightly tapered. Worse still on Prestiges as the metal tenon cap is too narrow to be of any use to stabilise the tenon in the socket. If the upper tenon ring is also too narrow, then the joints will rock.

It can be corrected by building up the tenon rings (with superglue and wood dust) or fitting an entire tenon sleeve at worst, then machine the now oversize tenon down to fit the socket precisely before the tenon cork has even been fitted. Also making the upper tenon ring longer by around 1mm will ensure a much more solid fit.
