I’ve been using my Anova with great results but the propeller shaft is now lose and wobbles when you touch it. I need to tighten up the two screws that hold the motor in place as they’ve come lose.

Before I overtighten the screws what material do the screws screw into? I’m hoping it’s metal and I might apply some threadlock too.
