Default Brake problem

Dear All,

I have a 2008 heritage classic. When I chaged the screw between the body and the brake I realized that the screw is moving because the hole is too wide. What can I do with it? Sorry, maybe my explanation is not the best.
Thanks

I don’t understand what you mean. Maybe a picture or a parts breakdown from a microfiche.
Whatever it is it sounds like you have the wrong screw
