Hi guys, I am using a extended board to stabalise a brass nozzle. I have previously used a gear reduction of 3 on the pitch axis alongside pwm encoders. It was able to actuate and hold the nozzle in place and I was able to send RC commands to change its position. However, as it has not enough torque when pitching towards higher angles, I decided to use a worm gear to replace the spur gears due to its high reduction ratio of 40. however, now when i try to power the motors, it does not try to stabalize the nozzle when i change the attitude of the frame.

I am wondering if is it because the motor is no longer parallel to the axis due to the nature of the worm gear being perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Does the controller cares about the mounting position of the motor and encoder relative to the driving axis? Thanks in advance.
