iMac G3 front panel will not clip in to rear housing

I’m sorry to be back again posting about my MacEffects bezel woes but this has just been so much trouble. My current problem is that, after reassembling everything I cannot get the front panel to clip into the rear housing. The thing just keeps popping out. I can get the right side clipped in but then that will unclip the left. Then if I go back over and clip in the left side, the right will pop out. If I try to do them both at the same time, one or both will inevitably pop out. I have taken the bezel out and reinserted it about a dozen times and it has made no difference. I can get connect the three pieces together outside of the machine, but the second I try to put everything on the computer, they won’t stay put. Here are some pictures of how I have the bezel screwed in. I’ve completely run out of ideas.

Maceffects iMac Bezel Screw Holes Aren’t Threaded

I recently bought two MacEffect iMac G3 bezels and when installing it the screws were incredible hard to twist. After inspecting the holes with a flashlight I realize they had no threads. Am I supposed to bore them out myself? I didn’t see this mentioned anywhere in instructional videos.
