    Good job.

    In retrospect, what do you think had gone wrong in your previous attempt?

    Since I didn't do it myself, I have no idea. I noticed when I mounted it today that the screws sometimes would 'shift' off to the sides in the beginning and it was a bit hard to pull down. Once they came into place properly it felt normal I guess when I screwed them down. So maybe it was cross threaded like you guys mentioned? I don't really know. I had to pull the mount first on one side because both did not fit there together, and made sure it was hooked to the bracket. I used your video.
