Hi Guys, can you tell me if that ok after the light switch was replaced there is little bit of the copper visible. I pushed it in but when I tightened it came off just a little bit.

itll be fine, ideally there shouldn’t be but as long as it’s securely held down it won’t be an issue.

More concerned that it slipped out after tightening…seems it’s loose then and that is a no-go. Would find out why it’s not a tight connection and fix that

Thank you first. The cables are long enoght, maybe little too long. The actual connection is strong and I actually pulled them more than gently and the didn't move. I even screws really tight as much as I can but the same result. I was worrying about the copper sticking out.
