Have any of you ran into this issue with PA6-CF Before

After moisture conditioning, my upper and lower no longer fit together, the upper has gotten a tab bit taller and the lower has gotten a tad bit longer

I assume this is because I printed them in different orientations, The lower was printed with the magwell on the print bed and the upper was printed standing straight up

What's the fix for this, do I print them both in the same orientation so that they expand in the same direction? or do I modify the upper and print it a tad bit shorter and longer so that it matches the lower?

My concern with printing the lower longer and shorter is that it seems that would affect the threads for the barrel nut as well and if I print them both in the same orientation then I think that would give very poor printed threads compared to printing it standing straight up

Just wondering if this is a common issue and how you guys deal with it

1st 3D2A print on my X2D, used Sunlu PA6-CF and ASA for support material, PA6-CF was printed using modified 300blkfde settings.
