Interface starts flapping when added as Stacking Port

Hey everybody!

i am currently very lost setting up a switch stack of 2 ICX7850-32Qs. 

We are using 2 of them and are connecting them via  100GBASE-LR PAM4 10km (QSFP28) and a single mode fiber connecting 2 datacenters. 

Now to the issue. When i connect those 2 switches without stacking enabled everything looks good and working fine. In the moment i activate stacking (of course the stacking port is the one flapping) on one of the nodes the interface start flapping up and down in a weird behaviour. I thought this might be causing because of an old Firmware but even after upgrading and trying multiple firmware versions the issue still persist.

Has anyone ever dealt with such an issue?

Thanks in advance.
