If you decide to use the brass inserts then m2 screws are needed. Original case screws will not work. You don't need the inserts really unless you plan on opening your case multiple times. If you just use the original screws that came with your case they will work with the bracket as they are made for threading into plastic. They will be tight the first time you screw them. It was designed this way to give it strength. I would screw them in first before installing bracket to make the first threads needed in the plastic.

I used the original screws and they worked the first time, but I had to re-open my case and now they aren't grabbing so I was hoping I could add in the inserts but keep using the same screws. I will figure something out.

I've tested it with just Gb screws and unscrewed them maybe 5 or six times and they were still good. You could use bigger screws now or do inserts still.

thanks for creating this part, it will be very useful when I'll start the SAIO build I have in mind for the future
I got the screen without button wells and a set of 4 brass insert and screws, will it be possible to pack everything together in the same envelope?

thank you so much!

If it touched that post it would interfere with Kites daughter board and not close all the way. The other side is the same way in case you used original GB cartridge holder which has the same height. If you look at the bracket you will notice that the two post on the volume/USB side are slightly shorter. That is by design to accommodate that daughter board that gets sandwiched between the main board and the case post.
