I had one that did the same thing. The only way to tighten the nut on the 510 connector is to take the battery out and de solder it from the board. Taking the battery out is a royal PIA as the tape they use to secure it is overkill. I ended up taking the chip and screen and putting it into a different box. So if you really like the mod, I would suggest trying to the contact for SMY USA service.
