I'm not sure if I read your post right but if you are just trying to get the screws tight then you don't want to put the washers under the plates. You want to put them between the plastic washer that should have come with the boots and the screw itself so that you don't damage the board or the plates. Unless you got the thumb screws in which case I would see if you could get the phillips head screws cause the thumb screws have had the tendency to break making it a pain to get them back off without pliers.
