Hot melt glue might be more forgiving (glue on the threads) or double
sided tape with a punched hole for the screw.
When I built Heath Kits and "real work" I would use tape on my finger so
that I could hold the nuts in place while I attached the screw...

Chris,
This is not supposed to happen (first case I've heard of), so you could just
request a replacement 2-meter module. That said, you could probably re-glue the
nut in place temporarily using a tiny bit of epoxy, avoiding the threads. Once
the TO220 device tab is secured by the screw, the adhesive no longer serves any
function.

I am installing my third 2M module on a KX3 for a friend. On this particular
unit, the nut that I guess was being held on by some adhesive I never noticed,
fell off the back of the FET heat sink. I’m having a stickler of a time
trying to figure out a clever way to hold the nut on there so I can re-insert
the board and get the lock screw through the side of the case. (Figure 20,
Page 27)
Any wise men around have any sage advice?
