Footprint and soldering issues with nRF9161

Hi, we are in the process of development of a product with nRF9161. Originally it was designed with nRF9160 and we were successful in bringing up the prototypes. Then we moved to nRF9161 before it was released. We got samples and also brought it up without an issue. Later on we purchased the processors and encountered some problems with assembly. We noticed that some ground pads differ. They shouldn't cause the issue but we changed the footprint and tried again. This time with footprint taken from the library provided with nRF9161 DK files. That also caused us assembly issues.

Now we noticed that the footprint files in the Altium library and the footprint actually used on the DK differ.

 

So my question is: Is the footprint used on the latest DK files from Nordic website final? We have already wasted a lot of money and time on it. The DK revision is still the same (1.0.0), but I can see that the files are different from what I downloaded around a month ago...
