Thule Apex XT4 Assembly Question

Question

Question:

Hi there, I have followed the instruction to the two M6 screws on both sides. I notice the screws can continue spinning. I am not sure how deep I should the screws. I thought there should be a washer or a plate to fasten the screws to a point that you cannot turn anymore. Can anyone please help? Thanks

That bolt is what the anti-rattle device pivots on as you tighten it. As long as the knob can still turn by hand it's not too tight. If you went back to the same position it was in prior you are totally fine.
