Default MM VFT & MZE Clearance

I have set up a MZE on my '04 MM VFT after having some clearence issues with the NAP 2000 drop-away. After tuning the bow to shoot bullet-holes, I noticed that the (thin) moleskin that I put on the claw was getting tore up (from bottom center slightly to the left) after about 40-50 shots. After REPEATED shooting sessions, raising, lowering the rest. I can't seem to get clearance - no matter what I do (with the rest). I took off the moleskin and applied foot powder to the claw - still getting contact. I can hit what I aim at, but I like things to be perfect. Occasionally, I see an arrow fishtailing, but not all the time. What do I try at this point? Do I raise my nocking point? Tiller is fine. Below are my specs:
DL = 29.5"
DW = 63 lbs
MZE Rest
Arrows - GT XT 5575
Arrow length - 26 7/8" (from nock center to back of insert)
3 - 4" Feathers, 4 degree Left Helical
Point weight - 100g
String Loop (no nock)
Caliper release.

The strange thing is - on my other bow (with a MZE - see below) the arrow at full draw is noticeably higher at the nock end, whereas with the VFT - the arrow is perfectly straight at full draw.
Any insight would be appreciated, for I am out of ideas[&o].
