*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!

Be sure to click on the "show more layers" button to reveal all my layers.
The layout is primary Dvorak based. Layer 0 is my primary typing layer when the OS is set to Qwerty/EN-US. Layer 1 is for the times that the OS is set to US-Dvorak (such as on a laptop, or a computer with a "regular" keyboard connected). This is not Programmer's Dvorak-based, just the standard Dvorak Simplified. Layers 2 and 3 are my "programming" layers for access to various symbols on the right hand, and various ways to move the text cursor around on the left hand.
My general concept was to minimize the amount of stretching away from home row, and to minimize the usage of my pinky fingers. The "programming" layers are designed to be easily accessed by holding the layer toggle keys with my thumbs and then hitting various keys with fingers on the same hand.
I like the sequential number row of Dvorak Simplified because that's what I learned years ago, and with the columnular layout of the ErgoDox (and other matrix-like layouts), I can easily touch type the number row.
