Hey guys, been a bit afk working on this. I measure a whole bunch of holes and they all seem to be 3mm instead of the 2.5mm I requested. I'm going to get a set of M3 screws from a local place tomorrow since I have a few days off work. I'm going to be getting this sorted out as quickly as I can. I love that you guys are coming up with solutions, and if the M3 doesn't work I'll definitely have to look into them.
Thanks for being understanding everyone, it's not a situation I want any of us to be in.
