Needing help with Latex 360 SMK3

I've installed all parts for the Latex 360 Service Maintenance Kit 3 and when I reassemble and initiate the machine, the carriage stops roughly 3/4 of the way across the bed and error 86:01 appears. I've tried restarting the printer with the carriage on the right and the left side of the bed and it always stops in the same spot. I replaced the carriage belt a year ago and there's no visible problem with it. I've also cleaned the encoder strip for what it's worth. The only thing I can see is that the new carriage felts are a bit large on one side and don't sit exactly flush with the opening for the rail. Any ideas are appreciated.

SE Code: 86:01 – There is a problem with the carriage assembly. That is all there is for the error code.

I believe it's the encoder strip and/or sensor. I completely cleaned the encoder strip again with water and then removed the encoder sensor and blew it with uncompressed air. The carriage travelled the entire bed length this time, but collided with the right side of the machine on its return to the maintenance station.

New encoder strip and sensor are inbound.

Those encoder strips are quite sturdy. You should definitely see it if you fucked it up.
Personally I would open the covers and manually move the carriage to both ends. See how the resistance is and that it bumps correctly to left and right. And that the right side bump is installed correctly.
Maybe you already did that.

It was either the encoder strip or encoder sensor that was the problem. I replaced them both and after performing calibrations, the printer works like new.
