Prusa Mini - Installed Mosquito Hotend & Now Z-Axis Fail

I just finished installing the Slice Mosquito hotend onto one of my Minis and then re-ran the setup wizard.  Running through the self-test, it all looks good except for the Z-axis test.  Fails every time.  I'm stumped as to what the problem could be.  There is no interference preventing full vertical travel, the cables are not restricting movement.

I know on the upgrade instructions on printables.com it mentions that the nozzle sits 1mm lower than stock.  Could this be the cause?  If so, how do I fix it?

Check my thread on the same issue, https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/hardware-firmware-and-software-help/failing-z-axis-selftest/

I put the spanner between X-mount and Z-top to take away a few mm of travel distance.
