If you can get a few threads of the screw into the threads on the aluminum plate. That was my problem. Two of the three 1" screws barely made it in enough for loctite to do its job. The third one wouldn't reach without leaving the washer off.
Most likely it's a plastic mold slightly out of tolerance. Someday I'll buy a new pair of case halves and see if it fits better.
