But the CS-887 is 71 degrees head angle, while 057 is 69.5, also less reach, etc.

How about some details about the frame? Size, gloss or matte, ud or 3k etc, 142mm spacing? Do they still do BSA (threaded) BB shells, and did you get that?
The main issue I have with my 057 (4 years old now, Dunno if it is still the same) is that it gets water in it. As I hang my bike (mainly used for commuting) in the rack at work by the rear wheel, my head set often rusts out. I also had issues with rear shifting - Dunno if there's metal in the internal guides that rusted, but it gradually got worse. I now run the rear shift cable externally.
I would firstly check if your hub is 142mm wide.
If not, maybe did forget a shim somewhere(eg: between two cassette cogs, or a hub end-cap, a shim inside the freewheel, etc. ) ?
This is a good axle a lot here are using: https://r2-bike.com/DT-SWISS-Thru-Axle-RW-RWS-12x142-mm-E-Thru
You can order a couple of nuts M12x1.5 too in case you loose one: https://r2-bike.com/SHIFT-UP-Nut-M12-for-Shimano-E-Thru-Thru-Axle-12-x-142-mm
