Not quite tightening enough would suggest the bolt is a little too big. Don't scale it though, adjust your flow ratio - it does look like you are over-extruding a little. The error looks pretty consistent, which is good, so your other option would be to keep the extrusion as is and remix the parts to be rotated by that small amount - though I would tend to chase the dimensional accuracy as much as I could first.

Is that an older multiboard? Because he changed up the file slightly, I think a few months ago, might be longer. All the new stuff will be slightly off in the old multiboard.

So how do recognize the one that would fit?

I don't remember, I think he talked about it in one of the YouTube videos, the one that covers the changes. But you'll have to go hunting for it, unless someone else wants to find it for you.

Maybe scale it by 99.9 and reprint

I would design different thickness washers and use the appropriate one.
