Screws on X-carriage-back dont byte anything

Hi guys, middle and  2  bottom  screws on back of X carriage don't bite anything . What I miss in assembly?

I  refer on step 43 in  assembly steps.

Tnx

There are only 12 steps on assembling the x axis.  Do you mean assembling the extruder ? If so isnt step 43 inserting 2 zip ties ? 

Anyway from your description you have probably missed inserting the M3 nuts into the Extruder back, these are what the X carriage screws thread into.  Its Step 16 on E Axis assembly https://manual.prusa3d.com/Guide/5.+E-axis+assembly/1055?lang=en

As I said check out Step 16, picture number 2, where you insert square nuts into the X-Carriage assembly.  These nuts are what the x-carriage back screw into.

Ive just realised we are referencing 2 different build guides .  I was using the MK3S build guide and you the MK3 guide.  Which printer are you trying to assemble ?

 

If using the Mk3 v3.06 guide that you linked to above you want X Axis assembly step 11 x carriage preparation.  That shows inserting the square nuts.

I was going to mention the MK3 vs MK3S issue - it would explain using the wrong screws for the job.
