Ya mine sticks out a bit too.
On the inside the pole with the insulator has a screw inside that sticks out a lil. The other pole has nothing on the deck and sits flush with the deck as seen on the pic.
I just screwed it on my microstick and just look at it since it's pretty lol.
Didn't try to come across rude I am just upset with this thing that's all. View attachment 350941
Looks perfect. No worries, once you get to know the thread and Perseas, we are all here to help. I am not going to jump in with more advice but it looks perfect from your picture. Please firmly screw your base back together and attach a curved piece of wire in the posts. Now try it in different devices to see if the wire gets energy. Good Luck
