Maybe you've used up the 1/4" black pan head screws elsewhere and you're trying to us a 3/16" pan head screw for the transistors? Measure the pan head screw length (which does not include the pan head) to see if perhaps you're trying to fit a 3/16" screw there.
A 1/4" pan head screw looks a lot like a 3/16" screw. Be sure to use the 1/4" ones only in the spots specified.

I am putting the bottom covers on and am unable to get the back cover on properly. The problem is properly installing the ¼” Black pan screws (with tooth lock washer) over the three power transistors. The screws are apparently to short as things stand. I can’t even get them to begin threading. The transistors have ¼” standoffs under the transistor screw holes. I am overlooking simple I am sure. The remaining stanoffs on the RF board that attach to the bottom cover are ¼” and have tooth lock washers. HELP!!!
