I think I may try to find slightly shorter M5 bolts. I don't have the tools to do any tapping. If I can't find the bolts, I'll reach out to Colin.
Hi

If we are talking about this:

.... and not this (the tiny thing in the middle of the picture):

There are two bolts on the first part. Both can be problems. The horizontal one can have an issue with the tapping of the extrusion. The solution for that is a tap or a new part (if it is stripped out). The vertical bolt goes into an insert. The insert can strip out and may need to be replaced. The bolt may be to long and you need to grab the right one. If the insert is stripped out, a snap in insert is an easy thing to replace it with.

If we are talking about the second mounting structure for the Y axis (second picture), there are a whole bunch of things related to that mount.
