A side mount is pretty much right in line with the operational bits of the fire selector (the ones on the outside of the mechbox). Putting pressure on those bits (or obstructing them with a screw head poking where there used to be empty space) would probably cause problems related to the selector.

If it works fine outside the receiver that suggests it's something with the receiver - perhaps something that recently changed with the receiver since the last time it worked fine, like the mount.
I actually read that and thought it could be correct, because although none of the screws are even long enough, the bits left from when the holes were made was still there, so I sanded the inside completely down, so the entire inside of the receiver is completely smooth. The problem persisted unfortunately.

Although (was just told this now) another guy from our last small game, has a complete stock kraken, still has a clear receiver, even the selection switch screw has never been tightened, and his is the same way - ..I wanna say bad batch of krakens, but mine is quite dated, whereas his was bought recently, but both have the same problem.
