Revolute mate overdefines the assembly

I am working on a project which requires multiple revolute mates to gimbal a part using a servo, however when adding all of the mates, I get a "Mate overdefines the assembly" error.
Here is the link to the assembly: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/18e42d1f6d6b4a2db51aa5cf/w/29be8c0c4baf0f4aad2a61b4/e/5be6a18e8ce138427b521ce8
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    did you solve it yourself already? I don't see any errors?

    do they all need to be revolutes? or are their Z-axis positions defined by other things as well?
    then try some cylindrical mates instead.
    sometimes stuff that needs to be aligned in theory, because of teeny-tiny errors aren't on the same plane.
