Do you think it'd help if I make the screw holes which connect the 2 filters a bit bigger? Sounds like that just may give the extra ~2mm needed while at the same time keeping the seal air tight. I'm just looking to take a little pressure off the screw b/c I can only screw it in halfway & the pressure is just too much that I can't tighten it any more or I'll strip the torx screw. I am headed to Home Depot to buy some silicone grease...I wonder if I can put that on the screw too...there's a ton of friction going on.
