Ensure the hole is clear of debris and the threads on both the bolt and nut are clean and undamaged. Verify you are using an M6 bolt and nut.
Nut spins but does not tighten.
Check that the serrated edge of the flange nut is properly engaged with the mounting surface. Ensure the bolt is long enough for the nut to engage fully.
