Why doesnt the screw work? Is it too long or too short?
I did buy a new Hogue at one time, if I remember correctly the hole was a little small for the screw head to fit in. I carefully countersunk the hole slightly bigger with a drill. Or you could grind down the head of the screw til it fits in. Is that the issue you are having?

I bought a new set of Hogue grips a while back. I found that the screw from my DW target grips was too long, but the screw from my DW service grips, which is shorter, works well.

It's common. Many folks over tighten the rubber grips and that interferes with the action. You can purchase a short screw at the hardware store or chase a nut onto it, then grind or cut away some threads.

I have had this same problem with Hogue wood grips as well
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I finally took a .370 reamer and slowly reamed out the end of the grip until the grip screw went through far enough to engage the grip frame. Hate to have to modify a new grip to get it to work.
