Great stuff ! Looks as though you did not slightly countersink the hole before tapping either !! Bad Boy ! I have had this happen and short of getting a new mount , you could drill and tap a new set of holes a 1/4 inch either way and be done with it . Be sure to check your tap drill chart and use a good 2 flute tap in aluminum wherever possible along with the tap magic , wd - 40 or kerosene , they all work well .get some Tap magic for Aluminum it works the best...
