Propeller clocking

Hey all. We recently added a 20lb crush plate to my price p tip propeller in addition we reset the clocking so the propeller is at 2-8 when #1 is at TDC. We also balanced the prop and its holding .03 ips through the entire rev range . Feels so smooth at 2500 rpm.

The issue: when pulling power back from about 1900 rpm to 1600 rpm there is a pronounced vibration or shake of the airframe. It's not severe but you feel it and it wasn't there before.

Thinking about moving the propeller back to 3-9 (horizontal clocking #1 tdc) what should o do?
