*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!

It sure made the flimsy plastic/wire filco one it replaced look like a toy and pretty much makes those cheapo rigid all plastic keycap pullers look like it came out of a happy meal.
Not once has it flinched pulling a cherry keycap (which I expect these will mostly see) or topre. It just laughs at the legendarily tight and stubburn ALPS switch keycaps and makes pulling model m buckling spring keys a walk in the park.
I got my first and shortly following, second one, from geekhack groupbuys and I might just get a third here. EDIT: haha a 3rd one never hurt! I'm in!
If you're concerned about the longevity of them, I've had mine for about over a year around my rotation of keyboards and going through 4 separate model m bolt mods and it's remained working as well and physically appearing as I got it on day one.
Here's a pic of my trusty workhorse with some spacesaver love for you guys:
