M3x12 Sheared Off

I'm in step 12 of assembly. I thought I had aligned the third m3x12 screw. It wasn't tightening and when I tried to remove the screw t sheared off. There are no spare m3ne nuts either. 

Be bold. Be brave. Be better.

Step 12 of which chapter?  There should be spare m3 nuts of all varieties in the spare parts bag.....and a few m3x12 as well.  It will be a separate bag that has a variety of extra parts.

 

Also, if you managed to shear a screw off, then I would guess you cross-threaded it.  Be extra-careful during assembly!!!  Take your time and enjoy the whole process!
