Adding Support around screw holes

I'm trying to add more infill around screw and bolt holes for increased strength.

I'm trying to add a cylinder modifier. I shrink it down below the top of the model but it always says I have a gcode conflict at the top layer.

Is this the best way to do this and could someone walk me thru this?  I have viewed the video on the post Modifier Meshes that always comes up on a search, but I am just not having any success with this.

 

Thanks!

RE: Adding Support around screw holes

If you haven't done so take a look at https://blog.prusa3d.com/model-with-prusaslicer-modifier-meshes-tutorial_30438/ specifically the Local Strengthening section. 

Modifier meshes can be a pain in the butt as they act as their own parts and often don't do what you expect. 

Best practice is to attach a 3mf project file (compressed as the forum only accepts .z file) to your posts for specific questions like this. The answer is often "it depends", and seeing your model (or relevant subsection) and your settings can make all the difference
