After the plate doesn't engage the rail the first time, I remove the mount, get a 2nd tool to hold the plate while I adjust the bolt, then try again. Nope, the backing plate still won't engage the rail, so I remove the mount, pick up the tools, and adjust the bolt again, and sometimes yet again. Yep, not at all as simple as putting a KeyMod mount in place and tightening a bolt.
See method below. Takes approximately one minute to do two bolts.

Apply loctite, adjust the screw all the way down then back off just enough so the nut can be turned 90 degrees for tightening. If it's slightly loose trying to install, look inside the rail to verify the nut is 90 degrees to the mlok slot. Pull downward on the accessory to put pressure on the nut so it doesnt turn as you tighten the screw. Pretty simple.

Yup. I put vibratite on it, tighten all the way with my fingers and back it off a half turn. Then I put it on the rail and tighten it with the allen key. Done.
