The assembly manual is wrong, I notified Elecraft a few days ago of the
same issue. You should fnd there are enough smaller screws to not run short
when you use them for the Z bracket to heatsink assembly.

"I Just started assembling my KPA500 serial number 0585 this evening. All
was going OK until I got to the point where I mount the Z-bracket to the
PA/LPF heat sink. The book sez to use 4-40 5/16" black flat head screws.
Using this size screw does NOT pull the Z-bracket tight against the heat
sink. I've measured these screws three times and I am certain I'm using
5/16" screws. If I use a 3/16" screw, it works fine."
