First of all, I couldn't believe it was not joke that this clamp should stay on the instrument "at all times" when I googled for it. What a complete nonsense. Correct pad seating ist only achieved by an even and leak-free fit; you cannot substitute the necessary (though meticulous) work of fine-tuning the correct pad heights in relation to the others by pressing them down, in fact I'd call that dilettantism. The lower tone holes simply are a sensitive area
To add insult to the injury, Buffet uses hot glue (many professionals do!), which in my opinion is an excellent material to work with and a particularly easy height adjustment. Of course, they don't care too much at the Buffet factory.

The other problem you're having.... It's rather common for manufacturers to not sand down the tenon cork enough, however this might be harmful for your instrument to assemble it this way. I made this mistake when I got my new Buffet, shop told me it was "normal". Well, it's not. Especially if (dis)assembly requires you to apply force to the keywork, as in my case... *shrug*
