My experience with this type of channel is that the screw is quite loose and it is the bolt tightening on the edge that secures it so I'd not worry too much if the screw alone is a very loose fit as long as you can tighten the bolt down firmly. Obviously if this doesn't work you need bigger screws, but that would be surprising as the screw size (i.e. diameter) is usually given for all cartridges, it's just the length that varies
