E-Axis Step 6 Screws too short

I'm on step 6 of the 5. E-Axis step. My M3x30 screws however, are too short to go all the way through the extruder-body and screw into the motor. see images: http://imgur.com/a/KGyDC what am I doing wrong? (motor and nozzle removed for clarity)

Hi Jason

Looks like you are not pushing the heads of the screws into the inset on the back of the plastic parts.

The length of the smooth/threaded section of the screws if 30mm; the width of the plastic is the same. The heads of the screws should be flush with the plastic part.
