You should be able to install all screws without having to exert effort or twisting the wiper bracket. If the tolerance compensation in the sleeves is insufficient or the wiper bracket does not rest flat by its own weight alone on all the mounting points, the wiper bracket and the body must be immediately aligned (refer to next work step).

Tighten down screws in sequence 1 to 3.
