*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!

1) Place stabilizers on PCB and screw into place.
2) Snap a few switches into the case to center the PCB
3) Place the PCB into the case, USB end first. Push down so the switches snap into the PCB taking care not to bend any pins
5) Turn the case over and snap in the remaining switches, taking care not to bend any pins.
Note: The switches on 'Esc' and '1' are turned 180' to accomodate for the usb connector.
6) If any pins are bent, you can pop the switch out using the tip of a pen.
7) Tighten the screws on the PCB.
9) Stick the rubber feet onto the bottom of the case
10) Screw the bottom and top case together. The depression on the bottom case should face the front of the keyboard.
11) Plug in your tokyo60 and start typing!
Some of my keys don't work:
If there's a key that doesn't work, check for a bent switch pin. Pop the key out from the bottom with the tip of a pen. Straighten out the pen if necessary and re-insert the switch. if this doesn't work, then please contact Massdrop support who can walk you through the process of a PCB replacement.
