How long are the screws?

I got the orbital screw! I believe it’s the correct part...

OXM seem to have been a good company for screws in the past for me. But, this seems to be a more common issue lately with screws and frames lately. I can't recall exactly who made the last screws on a previous post but, I believe it may have been OXM.

I’m not sure Im doing the ear stem screw thing correctly...

@THE X-MAN
do you mean to use an ear stem screw instead of an orbital screw? They are longer, correct?

I tried using the ear steam screw but it didn’t really work because the head of it is too lard to really go through the oribital opening thing... hope any of this is making sense
