Spin flush with panel.

Spin flush with panel,

 do not tighten.

Tighten gently with 

nut driver/wrench/socket.

Tightening toggle switch jam nuts.

Toggle switches are slightly shorter than the jacks and potentiometers, so the 

jam nut (rear nut) must be run flush with the panel before tightening the outer nut 

to prevent deforming the panel.
