*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!

In contract with Costar stabilizers you just have to lube them a bit then they're good to go.
As for the difference, an easy way to find out is to go to your local computer shop and try any Corsair keyboards (they all have Cherry stabilizers) and try pressing on the larger keys (shift, enter, spacebar) then you'll notice as you bottom out, it doesn't have a clean / hard bottom out and instead you'll feel a mushy resistance. So people perform this mod to make it feel better: https://youtu.be/C6hPoe3srcw
Drawback is that on plate mounted keyboard you can't get to those stabilizer stems without desoldering a few switches. Leopold and Vortex are the only 2 companies that come with pre-clipped Cherry stabilizers.
