it was the damn fork brace, I loosened up one side and it popped back into place, i guess even though the brace is made to just fit on top of where the cap is taken off, it doesn't line the forks up. So I just tightened it back down where it stayed after loosening it up and works fine now.

I think I ended up loosening the axle pinch bolt, the axle nut, the fender, and the lower tree pinch bolts. Then I bounced the fork around a little, then lifted the front wheel off the ground, then installed the brace, then re-torqued everything...
