I tried that first. In my case it resulted in what I considered an
unacceptable deformation of the front panel. Maybe I just had a bad stackup

washer between the phones socket and the front panel plate itself. Even with
the knurled nut screwed on the front, the flat washer is
I had the identical issue. After verifying that all other hardware was
correct and connectors mated fully, I added an additional thin lock
washer on the jack behind the panel to take up the space. I'm sure it

Rick,
Apply some pressure between the board and the front panel metalwork -
Squeeze with thumb and fingers while tightening the knurled nut with the
other hand. Tighten until the washer is tight. That method will do no
harm.

I remember having the same problem when I built my K3 about four years ago.
It was never going to work without an additional washer which is what I
installed.
