Thankfully my plate screws work well enough but the brass weight screws are almost entirely useless, any tips as to what I can do ?
also either it came that way or (more likely) in my rush to get this thing up and running i might have knocked off a piece of the pcb that now makes the insert key (top right most key) not function. how involved would it be for me to fix this?

I epoxied my weight in. It's not going anywhere plus no more concerns of shorting the pcb out on the weight screws.
I had to do more work to this board aside from having to epoxy in the weight. I had to put new helicoils in the indicator light trim piece, plus i had to rethread every single plate screw with 2.5m hex bolts. Now my JER Mini is as solid as a rock. The tolerances on the machine work are fantastic and the finish is nice aside from one minor scratch but the quality of the threads and the use of helicoils is unacceptable. It could always be worse though. I gotta say, while the issues with this board are
unacceptable, I was able to work around them and that work has made me like the board even more. I'll definitely purchase another plate and PCB if the JER Mini runs again.
