    What rails are you using? There are different types and some can handle 4 way loading and others cant so are best mounted on top of the rail. Especially if you are using a heavy moving gantry.
    Yes some corrective action should be done .

    The gap in the middle just represents the place of the single ball screw in case of narrower machine

    regarding the rail I would use one like this which is regular type now
    The problem is as you pointed to it at my case only the upper row of ball hold the load but the moment resistance is good that occurs at start-stop and direction change
    I have no experience using it but suppose it works -the catalogue also mention it as possible mounting arrangement

    Because of my 100kg+ heavy moving gantry I have drooped this design and go with fix gantry where the moving Z will be balanced
