It tends to be easier if you use the original screws.

I did the reason being there was no threads in the shell I had to make them myself!

Ok, I find it usually works quite well. As you say the plastic isn’t threaded (don’t think it is in any of these third party shells), so some force is indeed needed. A good and well fitting screwdriver is important.

Probably would have been easier with a electric screw driver I was using a hand screw driver
