to me it does not make sense to blame the plug

as has been said, stem fixing bolts are loose, crank down the correct torque on the expander so the steering column does not have play in it when the front brakes are applied and you rock the bike back and forth...and the steerer works smoothly left to right in the headtube/bearing complex. Then you properly torque the stem bolts...then the plug is more or less not in the picture at all. The Enve top cap is beveled on the underside and I think that bevel makes it so you have to use a 3-5 mm spacer under the top cap. Without the spacer cranking down on the expander bolt will not work correctly.

This guy from Enve makes it all to damn clear:
