I am using two of the Aero mounts on a .22 LR dedicated upper, although I paid more like $100 for the pair. I have a 1" and a 30mm mount. The best part of an Aero mount is the torx driver they include.
Non-QD Warne XSkel mounts are just over $100, weigh 6.7 oz, and made in the US. One of the members here reported that the helicoil inserts allowed the scope to shoot loose quite a while back, so they are not perfect.

Aero makes great stuff, but that mount is not one of their great products. I'd try and get a refund..If they won't, get a replacement(if they'll warranty it), sell it for a loss, and move on. I have some $20 Ebay mounts in a drawer from when I was a gun noob that I'd trust more.
I gravitate toward ADM and Larue mounts; but they're pricy.
What were you expecting? A quick glance at those mounts tells you that they are not sturdy and have a likely failure point where yours failed.
