A new X-Pro model is coming to the US

I disassembled the rear frame completely. Battery cradle and the air filter housing sandwich the frame. I had to modify the frame (misaligned top mounts for rear fender), but once I did, it went together awesome. Pics soon.

When you watch the assembly video for the Paladin (and pretty much any XPro/Zumaav bike), you can see why some of the Zumaav bikes come to us with cross-threaded bolts. In the video, they rarely start any bolts by hand first, then finish with the impact driver. They usually just start and finish bolts completely with an impact driver, and that will surely cause cross-threading issues. I actually had to re-order the left fork guard for my DLX 150 Storm, as I decided to take all of the plastics off one day to paint them and found that it was near impossible to get the guard off, so I had to basically cut it off. It was due to a cross-threaded bolt. As you noted, the Zumaav quality is good, but the factory assembly thereof is sometimes compromised.
