Mark ... NOT busting your balls here ... No blame on JB weld unless mixed wrong ... IM(humble)O, you should have used it on top AND bottom rings + cranked it all down as adjusted to perfect and let it harden as long as the JB weld wants. Letting it seat and THEN tighten is the same as where you started from pretty much.
There is big difference between the original and the fast harden stuff too. ... Good idea on waxing but the epoxy will not really stick to any smooth anodizing unless its been roughed prior to bonding up. It will readily pop out of anodized knurling even. That said, I would have waxed the scope as well.
Again, NOT a gun guy, but an epoxy guy who makes compression molded parts.

ETA, if you really don't want anything to ever move ... Sand every interface down and bed with the JB or epoxy combined with high compression filler. Mixed SUPER well, since thin - to almost nothing bond lines. Also don't worry, it will always come apart .
