Good luck Kevin. I had a similar thing happen to me a couple of months ago. I took the bezel out and all my screws were a bit different. When I put it back, I had the same issue you are describing. After a closer look, I used a screw that had a trim ring at that center spot so it wouldn't "fit" into the taper of the hole. This wouldn't adequately capture the ground tab. A cheap screw kit from Ames solved my problem. While I had mine out, I cleaned all the exposed contacts on my printed circuit board by hitting them with some steel wool. There was a heavy tarnish on them and when I probed them with my multimeter, I had to pierce that tarnish wire. This also goes for the grounds. The circuit has to ground to the back of the gauges and then throught the high beam indicator as described earlier.
