Default Bell raceworks Rear differential brace(finned) question

I recently installed the bell raceworks rear different finned brace and I noticed that the subframe screw on the rear differential wasn’t completely flat.

I took the brace out and remounted it and it provided the same result. So then I tightened down the screw as far as it goes. Is this normal with your installs too? I couldn’t find much info about it and there is no install instructions.

Here’s a view of the other side of the subframe screw.

Difficult to tell but to me it looks like you went through the whole subframe. I'm not 100% sure on that brace itself but looks like it mounts just like a recent one I did.
That nut I believe goes inside the subframe.

The third picture on my post is kinda confusing, the nut showing it’s the second one that pins directly into the differential not the subframe one. I actually used the video you mentioned to install the brace and I put it inside the subframe exactly like the video.
