Thanks. I don't have a torque meter that goes that high, but it's as tight as I can get it. Thing is that if I get it any tighter it just pushes the chainrings too far in so they hit the chainstay. It needs something to hold it out on the right chainline.
I am pretty confident I don't have the offset. I actually have two axles (ordered one over Christmas and it took forever so ordered another as got sick of waiting!). What I could do is see if the other one works.
I have checked the spacer chart and it says I only need the little 0.5mm ones, which is all that I have, so can't try something else to see if it works. That was what made me think of BB width, as I held a shimano one against it and that seeemed to be a mm or two thicker.

To the full 35Nm? Tapered splines are very sensitive to assembly force, so you are unlikely to get full clamping pressure on the spider until full torque is applied.
Have you definitely got the standard axle rather than the offset axle?
The offset axle would require 2.5mm each side which sounds like it would solve your issues.
