Screw Issue?

Are the screws supposed to slide into the pegs a bit before they begin to bite? The reason I ask is because even without the power board, sound board, and battery I can't seem to get the button face plate to screw down at all. Almost as if the screws are too short or I'm doing something wrong. Below is a link to a video showing what I'm talking about, and I'm sorry if the quality turns out to be trash. Thanks in advance!

if the screws are loose, try wrapping them with some teflon tape, electrical tape or something to thicken them up a bit, that may help them bite in a bit. Depending on the 3d prints those screw holes may be slightly too wide due to the printer itself? Worst case, maybe put a small amount of hot glue inside the screw hole, and then once hardened, poke a small hole in the glue, and then screw the screws in. The glue should form the new threads for the screw.

Thanks for the input. I don't have any teflon tape and couldn't get the electrical tape to hold right. So I said screw it and went with the hot glue idea. Sure enough it holds a lot better now. Again thanks for the idea!
