There are only two fixes for the loose steering rack because of the parts that make up the rack. The issue is that you have bearings floating in aluminum arms and unless you either glue the bearings into the arms (not advised) or do the plastic bag trick, you'll never get the loose out. Its like running rear uprights, there is a reason that the bearing goes into a plastic adapter, because if it didn't the bearing would have too much float and feel really loose.



The reason it doesn't get fixed is beacause its not broken. I don't know how to state this any simpler......the system was not designed to use a servo saver.......if you are/do, you'll have to come up with your own fix to make it work. Lots of us use a servo saver, and the ways to run it have been posted several times. You had to trim down one side of the saver to get more throw but if you're trying to get lock to lock throw you are already well past the effecient throw degrees of the steering and are now creating tire scrub or slowing the car down more than you have to in the corners.

Also if the button head screw is touching the graphite plate threw the sweep of the servo, make sure you haven't dropped the servo too low, the screws should be pretty much centered in the servo ear holes, giving you about 1mm of clearance between the chassis and the bottom of the servo. I may misunderstand the last part of your post about the screw issue, if the above is not what you're referring to.
