Here is how I would have done the part. Notice that the Feature tree is much more simple.
And note: The holes you used for a 4-40 UNC screw are too big - the screw will fall into the hole as there will be no threads. The screw diameter is .112 and your hole diameter is .112, thus no thread engagement. The correct tap drill size for a 4-40 UNC is a #43 drill (.084"). If you use the Hole tool to create your tapped holes Inventor will automatically assign the correct tap drill size.
