Take the short screw and push it as far into the main body as you can. You can use a hex bolt here if you find one short enough or cut it to length, but I found the round head of the philips head is easier to find in 3/8" length and gives more flexibility for adjustment.

The head of the philips screw is wider than the battery slot, so you might want to cut the thin wall as shown below to give it more room. The screw should be able to seat to the bottom of the plastic housing. Dont worry it will not affect the batteries.

The stud of the screw should only stick out about 1/4 inch. If it sticks out much further you might want to try adding some material between the screw head and the plastic body. You can cut a hole in a small piece of paper as a make shift shim if you want. This is also what you can do if the shortest screw you find is 1/2 long.
