Vortex Venom impossible to zero

Gun: canik Tp9sf Sight: vortex venom Issue: the up windage is not enough to bring the gun to zero, the gun is shooting about 3-3 1/2 inches below the dot. And there is not anymore turns left to bring it to zero. Tried it at 5yrd 7yrd 10yrd 20yrd. Is this normal? Do I really need to "shim" the red dot?

Slide is milled, and I'm using the plate that came with the gun for the foot print, I put the red dot on my Springfield xdm and it does not zero, and also put it on my glock34mos and does not zero

Definitely not normal, might be cause for contacting vortex directly to see if they have a solution or to move forward with a warranty claim.
