Apply output load between to the error amplifier, instead it servos the FB pin to the these pins and GND pins. Recommend placing output TRACK voltage. Above 0.6V, the tracking function stops decoupling capacitance directly between these pins and and the internal reference resumes control of the error GND pins.
