*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!

I just finished building my first custom keyboard and thought it would be cool to start a discussion page where we could all share our custom builds.
I joined Massdrop's Vortex backlit keycap drop a couple months ago and designed and built the keyboard while I waited for the caps to ship. I went with gateron brown switches, an acrylic case (with a steel backplate), blue LEDs, and a Teensy 3.2 microcontroller for my primary components. For some reason I though it would be fun to hand-wire all of the keycaps and LEDs, so I spent a couple days soldering resistors to LED's and trying to avoid creating shorts while putting together the switch matrix. (Next time I'm definitely going to use a PCB).
Here's a picture of the wiring before I added the LEDs
Here's a couple other pictures
