Tell us again what mfr of components you're using, for the upper receiver, HG and barrel nut.
And how many rounds so far for the Odin break in?
Odin usually has decent barrels, it's maybe too early to know if the barrel has any issues.
If the Vortex scope has internal or other issues, then I'd send it in... it sounds though something's up with the mounts you're using, both for the Vtx and the other one.
Definitely don't go over the 18 in-pds recommended by Vortex that will void its warranty.
When you torque you need to alternate back and forth, and cris-crossing on the mount screws... plus you have to keep torquing until none of the screws budges at the torque setting, b/c tightening one can loosen another.
Not sure what or why you're using shims but don't put anything between the extension and the upper. You might however want to lap that end surface on the upper to ensure it is square and flat. Shouldn't take much.
