When you insert the forward screw through the horizontal stabilizer (without the vertical stabilizer in place) does the screw insert all the way up into the hole?? Meaning that the head of the screw is sitting firmly against the bottom of the fuselage?
Can you take a picture of the problem and post it? That would help a lot if we can see what you are talking about.

Yes, the head of both screws sits firmly against the bottom of the fuselage. However, the other end of the front screw doesn't come up as far as the rear one, because that part of the fuselage where the front screw goes is higher than the rear part where the rear screw goes in. Because both screws are the same length the rear one comes up far enough for the wide part to reach the hole in the stab. But the front one only comes up far enough for the skinny part at the top to reach the hole in the stab. Does this make sense?
I don't have a camera here at the moment but I can try to get a pic later.
