How do you tighten down the 2 center screws? There appears to be quite a bit of distance between the CF hole and the plastic mounting hole once the screw is in place.

I lined up the screw as follows: CF hole through the heatshield through to the plastic screw hole. It doesn't appear to tighten down all the way. I know I lined the screw correctly since I can see it go into the plastic hole. However, it just keeps spinning as I tighten. It clicks tight but then resets to being loose again if I screw it too tight.

As far as I can tell, everything is lined up correctly. I made sure I lined up the 4-5 top mounts and carefully clicked it into place.

Ultimately, I was able to install it and it feels secure as the left and right screws are straight forward and tied down. The 2 center screws are 50/50 IMO. Not sure if I did those correctly, but it appears it's being held in place.

Did I screw up the install?
