Bought one of these based on the recommendation of a Youtube'r.

 

Takes a month to receive only to realize it's apparently assembled incorrectly... the locking lugs that go to the base are 90* out.

 

lesson learned... don't order <profanity> from China when avoidable.

If that's a Virpil base, you should, by the manual, remove those two screws anyways.

IMPORTANT!

When connecting a Thrustmaster grip, remove the 2 bolts holding the grip connector socket. This will allow the Thrustmaster grip to be rotated without damaging the VPC Base connector socket.

It's the TM base. The screws aren't the problem, it's the ps2 connecter not being properly oriented to the proper direction. The 4 lobes are 2 different sizes.

I resolved it by using a Dremel to shave down the 2 outlined in blue so they will fit where the 2 outlined in red want to go. Had to swap axis in controls, but I got it working.
