screw dimesions for power e30 sunroof motor

[R1ckM]

Ok so my e30 coupe has a sunroof and the previous owner converted it from manual to power. It stopped working and I noticed that the current screws are too long and that might be the issue. (the literally have poked through the roof skin)

Can someone post the screw specs/dimensions for a e30 sunroof motor?

Only thing I can find is to use 1.5 inch sheet metal screws but that seems too long still.

I picked up the proper screws and the motor is very snug BUT it still doesn't work. Will just click once and not open the sunroof.
I can tilt, open and close the sunroof manually with a torex bit.
The motor works but wont spin anything. Not sure if I should order a new motors or what?
I can hand open and close it so the point of failure must be the powering mechanism in the motor?

Make sure the motor gear is in the proper place to spin the I'm not sure the proper term but basically threaded wire
If you want pm me your number and I can send you pictures of the proper way everything should be assembled if your still having issues
