The heli-coil is a small coil (in the shape of a spring) that lines the screw 
holes for the hoop arms. From what I understand (someone correct me if I'm 
wrong), is that if you tighten the screws too tight, you can break/dislodge the 
heli-coil. Once it's messed up, there's no going back. 

Anyway, I'm not so sure gorilla glue is a good idea....

I now hand tighten the screws and then use a screw driver to tighten further 
only 1/4 turn.
