Did you buy the bike used? Did someone else install the t-bags?
If yes to either question, maybe someone changed the length of the screws.

Look and see if those brass insets are still flush wth the plastic fairing they are in.
The replacement inserts are about $1 and screw in. The stocks ones are pressed in at the factory.

Those brass inserts from the factory suck. I need to change one on my batwing.

HD has a repair insert for the batwing. When I did my center insert I drilled and I think I used a tap, I do however rember thinking that just trying to thread the replacment part in w/o enlarging the hole would be a mistake and could crack the plastic.
