RCOS 16 Focusing in NINA

I have been using NINA for a while now and not come across this problem until now.

The problem is this. The secondary focuser for the RCOS 16" connects to NINA via the TCC ASCOM driver. The focuser moves fine but it always either over shoots or undershoots by 1-3 steps. That is miniscule in the movement of the focuser but it causes an error that NINA reports as the focuser failed to move to target position. That in turn stops autofocus occurring in NINA.

The TCC software is reporting that the focuser is moving and it does move physically.

I am using the plug in Hocus Focus within NINA also.

Is there a work around possible? Otherwise I may have to go back to CCDAP which I do not want to do as it does not have many of the features I like in NINA.
