Question about stretch-in vs. power stretch method on stairs

I did a set of 14 stairs in a client's house in Akron last week and the next day there was a ripple on the top landing I didn't see when I left. I used the power stretcher but maybe I didn't get enough tension on the nose of each step. Has anyone else had issues with steps settling after the first 24 hours?

Yeah man, that top landing ripple sneaks up on you when the nose tension isn't locked in tight.

Had a stair job settle after a day once too, drove me nuts finding the ripple later.
