*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!

And I am kicking myself for programming with the nordic layout all these years. When I need ÆØÅ keys, I just use Ctrl+Shift to quickly change layout :) Also, most keyboards here are ANSI, so it also makes it even easier to spend all my hard-earned money for things like this ;)
if i use a real ANSI board that won't be a problem anymore, though it obviously doesn't have £. i guess i'll do some research to see if the programmability lets me make a key do £, in case there isn't an easy way to do it in whatever OS i use.
(i deal with a lot of linux and bsd systems too, so this keyboard using a standard detachable cable is also another plus, but makes relying on programmability more important too)
(sorry, this was rambly.)
on their progress shots tho i did like how the punctuation and numbers and stuff were closer together vertically and had some horizontal spacing, it looked like they had better centring on the ISO legends too (their ANSI legends are a little off centre, though that's only rly visible from top down, at the angle you normally look at it it's not very noticeable)
