How to install keyhole hanger floating shelf?

Question

Hi there, I am trying to install the above floating shelf but the flat head screw doesn’t seem to hold it in place ( shelf slanting down). I’ve tried to adjust the depth of the screw as well with no luck. Is it actually an issue with the width of bracket or I’m using the wrong screw?

thanks,

Melanie

The gap between the screw and the wall decides how much it will have. Try to get it as close to the wall as you can.

Thanks everyone for the prompt reply! I’ve just bought some washer today and will give it a go tomorrow. There’s 3 shelves in the bundle but this is the longest one and the screw( which seems rather small in my opinion to hold the shelf). The shelf itself is quite light weight ( about 1 kg or less). 
I’ll update once I give the washer a go 🙂

Cheers,

Mel
