*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 recently bought a left-handed keyboard, the DSI one below, and it's much better to use for me as a right-hander - the keyboard is centred with the monitor, mouse/trackball has tons of space on the right, and the left hand has quickly gotten up to speed on the numpad and arrows with way more keys accessible without taking your hand off the mouse . Hell, even Logitech knows to add 12 bonus keys on the left - why not use the right hand cluster which is already there and just shift it to the left? I don't take my hand off the mouse anymore unless I'm typing long missives like this one - anything with AutoCAD, Excel, FE analysis, gaming, all these use-cases keep my mouse hand fixed, keyboard exclusively with the left.
Calling on the keyboard designers to embrace a left hand layout and bring something original to market rather than forever tweaking 60% boards or adding more coloured LEDs. This form works so well I can't believe it's not more prevalent. The DSI is decent (Cherry Reds) but can be improved. Let's go!
