Spanning-tree blocks VPC port-Channel

Hello, 

I got an issue with a VPC link after upgrading my two VPC peers to 10.3.5(M) NXOS, below i little demonstration on how my my connections are: 

Kaneki007_0-1721382707797.png

 

My ports configuration is like this: 

N9K1#interface ETH1/9

lacp rate fast
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 4008
spanning-tree port type normal
channel-group 106 mode active
no shutdown

N9K1#int Po106

switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 4008
spanning-tree port type normal
vpc 106

======================================

N9K2#

N9K2#interface ETH1/9

lacp rate fast
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 4008
spanning-tree port type normal
channel-group 106 mode active
no shutdown

N9K2#int Po106

switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 4008
spanning-tree port type normal
vpc 106

=================================================

 

When i let the two ports UP both of them start flapping and then they go down, but when i shutdown the second port it works, now i working with just the port channel of the N9K1, i tried to understand the issue but i don't find why would spanning three blocks my port-channel since i have vpc he should consider the two nexus as to be one switch

 

this is the result when i let two port-channels UP: 

 

On the N9K1:

And then when i shutdown the port on the second switch

I also checked vpc
