I had this error when one of my drives had 512b native sectors and the other had 4k native sectors. I don't think I was able to do a mirror either direction (i.e. you installed to 512b and are trying to mirror onto 4k, and I think I also tried installing on 4k and mirroring to 512b with the same error you have). A quick Internet search reveals that the "...DM003" has 4k sectors natively [1] while "...541AS" has 512b sectors natively [2].

Does anyone know how to override this sector alignment issue?
