I imagine it's my technique, but I have consistently found that by setting the wheel and tightening qr when the bike is on its two wheels to be the best method. If done on the stand, I find I often am off a bit, so prefer to do it with bike on ground. It must simply be not lining things up well and or having one side drop a bit from not being careful holding it in place.
