I’m having an issue where the placement pins on the headset top cover are slightly too wide for the holes in the stem. Is the smr stem from a previous generation or something? I think they should fit together

Are…are you a cat?
please help i’m losing my mind
Adjectively it is unsafe for cats to ride bikes, since you yourself are a cat I don’t think you should be messing with bikes
(Since they are so close in size you could probably get away with opening the holes up slightly just to allow the clearance. (I’m not a professional, but this is what I would do) )
Pretty sure you need one of these spacers:

Yeah it looks like the spacer you have is intended for the bottom of the spacer stack

And it looks like there’s a couple(?) of spacers that you’re missing. I guess they may use a slightly different spacing between the pins to avoid people using the bottom spacer immediately under the stem?

You answered the question in your title. You have the ACR headset and SMR stem. It’s not the same spacer system. They do make an adaptor spacer though.
