    Your screws may be bottoming out in the V-rail. I noticed that possibility during my i3v build. Look where you've tried to tighten something to the rail. If you see a circle being cut into the bottom of the channel where the nut plate rides, that's what is happening. If so, add a washer under the screw head or file the screw shorter.
