The left clamp is what I was asking about in my earlier post. The clamp edge being into the start of the turn of the rails. CF doesn't "flow" at all so the concentrated force at that clamp edge will never dissipate. I asked the OP if this was the case so we could all learn but I suspect the hostile replies drove him off.
