Just mounted mine today and didn't have the same issue you're facing with the screw clip. Sorry
Wanted to add for those who really like the RAM Mount products....Bulletpoint sells an adapter to swap one of the ends out so that you can put a 1" ball on it (25mm) vs. the standard for Bulletpoint which is (20MM). So you get the best of both worlds!!
I ordered for this picture:
Metal Series 2013-2018 RAM Truck & 2019+ RAM 1500 Classic Dual 20mm Ball Dash Base
Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Hybrid Mount Arm - Matte Finish Long 10cm - (so I could get closer to driver side - next size up from standard size)
Flange Socket - Converts 20mm arm end to accommodate 1" ball 2-Pack
On my 4runner, I used all RAM components and came up with very similar solution as you see in picture, except I mounted a USB charger with double sided tape to the center of the RAM mount you see in picture here. Is very thin, but charges through my case so Ram Mount can still hold phone while it charges. Ran the cable in the dash to USB power supply double tapped into fuse box and charged my cell phone while in Ram mount. Am adding a USB charger to this one as well, and will post final pictures. But am using:
- Only 4mm thick
