The CB1/CM4 module mounting Brass inserts in the mainboard size? #12

Thank you for bringing us this new board. It is looking like you have outdone yourselves in its creation.

The Brass inserts are reported to be M2 and are too small even for the included screws. I tried to get an M1.5x5mm for testing purposes to fit the threads, for thread ID, and that was not close to the correct size either. What are the real thread sizes for these brass mainboard inserts for securing the Compute module?

Granted I still do not have the actual thread pitch and thread size, but... It was pointed out to me, that the (4) M2*10mm are not the intended screws.
The correct screws are located inside the white back, loosely mixed with the electronic connector bits. All four of them. So, hopefully, this can be documented for the other poor saps who go thru this experience, and find their screws so they are not as loose as mine were.
