Sand the $25 J-Arm, NOT the $350 mount...
And do it incrementally checking fit with the mount as you go. I had the same issue with a JArm and a TATM.

Possible conflict with magnet. Remove the magnet, anyways. The auto-off feature is garbage.
If this does not fix it:
Possible incompatibility with J-Arm. Try another J-Arm or lightly sand the bayonet lug where it hits the socket.
I tried taking the magnet off. Are you saying to sand the center of the "V" in the lug to make it deeper? I can't tell if its not going in the socket far enough to lock up, or if the release is just not lining up correctly to lock it in place.
I don't have another J-Arm.

That's what I meant. If you turn the J-Arm vertical, you have a sort of "V" where the "base plate" and the lug portion with the release lever that goes into the mount meet. I had originally thought it was bottoming out, but now I'm thinking the lug may just be too wide and/or tall for the space. You want very low tolerance to reduce wiggle and make the lock up tight, but I have two AKA2s and it doesn't lock into either.
As mentioned, it locks fine in the G11 which I was going to return for some credit against other stuff, but now I'm rethinking that. Depending on how things work out, I might keep it and just buy a dovetail mount and adapter for the AKA2 and use the G11/J-Arm on another helmet.
