Rockshox front lockout

I have rockshox recon 351 u turn coil forks on my MTB.
I had a couple of niggles with them. I think I've sorted most things out but have one niggle left.
The blue crown that you turn to lockout is too easy to turn. It works correctly. If I turn it to unlock the fork goes all the way up and down. If I turn it to lock then it just moved a small amount as expected.
My problem is that because it moves so easily it changes the setting whilst going over bumps. It only ever seems to lock itself, but then I go over bumpy ground with it unlocked. I took the circlip off hoping to see something but the circlip just holds the blue adjuster onto the top of a nut. That nut is still easy to turn with fingers.

I've got rebound set as fast as possible does that sound correct? If I put it on slow rebound it makes a squelch sound when rebounding. I've also got it set at max length for travel.
Squelching can be a low damper oil level or due to water contamination, or cavitation just happens, of itself it’s not an issue.
Yes the o-ring is there to add friction so the knob doesn’t turn uninrtentionally as yours is doing now you’ve taken it out, again it’s there for a reason.
