Am I missing a screw?

Hello,

I just received my Gladiator NXT EVO, the product looks and smells good, as expected :)

So I set it up using the YT tutorial and, while tightening the screw on the X-axis dry clutch, nothing changes.
The Y-axis dampens as expected though, so I decide to take the unit apart.

On the first picture, it seems that a screw is missing (red arrow) to secure the clutch.
I took a higher resolution picture to show that the hole is new and hasn't been threaded yet.

That would explain my problem and the product being new, I thought I'd ask before attempting anything else.
The base comes with an extra set of screws that are not covered in the tutorial, should I use them? It's not going to explode, is it?

Regards,

Could you post a pic with all the screws that you still have?
The missing one should be a M 2.5 x 10mm self tapping screw, same like the other 2 black screws in your pic on the pitch axis.

Thank you for the fast reply.

I still have a bag with the mentioned screws indeed, I used one and the problem went away.
The stick is now fully calibrated and operational :)

I assume the bag on the right is to lock in the twist of the grip?

Good to hear :) You're right, that's the twist locking bolt and the rubber cylinders are extenders for the side button on the KG12.
