Plastic Screws on SmartSolar heatsink for Wire Box?

There should be warning in directions when installing the WireBox on SmartSolar that the existing screws on the back of the heat sink that is used to mount the wire box plate to are actually plastic and should NOT be re-used. I did not realize this at first and broke both heads off. Still trying to get the threads out of one of the holes.

I'm beginning to think the black plastic screws on the heat sink were not supposed to be plastic?? Since I used two of the short metal screws that were included with the wire box (and also fit perfectly to attack the back plate to the heat sink) I no longer have 2 screws to fasten the wire box cover the the wire box back plate.
