*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Already the Esc and keypad enter keys have gotten stuck in the down position, and the Esc switch will pop off the PCB every 10 presses or so. I've come very close to losing the spring several times.
Mine also has some of the scuffing on the corners like others have posted pictures of. Not nearly as bad, but still visible.
And the best part, I can't even use it, as the USB connector wasn't even soldered on. The pressure of the back plate was holding it down enough to make contacts. When I took off the back plate to see what was going on with the switch that was popping out, the USB connector just fell off. It looks like an attempt was made to apply solder, but clearly not enough to do anything.
So:
- Poor quality control - Unusable due to switches popping off - Unusable due to the USB connector not being properly soldered - Cheap and unreadable "documentation"
