Are you running the correct spacer setup?

8 and 9 speed freehubs are the same size if memory serves. I've never had an issue running 8 or 9 on the same hub, that said never done so on a ringle. I might try later when I venture into the garage and report back (not that I am flush with ringle hubs, I have a cracked one for spares).

Yes, the 8 speed freehub will take 8 and 9 and even 10. I have setups in all these configurations. 7s needs a spacer. If the 9s cassette is having "issues" probably the spacer is left in place. Shimano cassettes are TIGHT on the freehub body, so it is often easier to split screwed together cassettes, and slide on the sprockets one at a time.
