Do we need to drill out the holes sightly? Tap them? Get self tapping screws?

In case anyone finds this on a search in the future since I did not find anything about it in a CD search, we ended up getting these mounted by widening the holes with a 5/64 drill bit and then the screws that came with the E4P were able to thread into the plastic. All the instructions that I could find indicated the screws should have threaded in without modification, but I know the E4Ps were included in the kit years ago when the original toughboxes were used so maybe the holes were slightly different for those. All current instructions mentioned using a spacer tool for centering the encoder mount, and the old E4P units we have do not have that centering tool.
