What sorts of issues; the list here is a great place to ask; I would be 
quick to point out that I have a lot of friends here that have helped me 
in the past, and I am sure they would help you are well.

I am not clear on exactly what you want to know; on my KX1, there is 
nothing screwed onto the jack itself.  Could it be that  your jack came 
with some hardware for panel mounting it that is unused? if that is what 
it is, in my opinion, throw it in your spare parts drawer as not needed 
on the KX1.

There is a treaded hole above the paddle jack; the screw that fits that 
comes with the KXPD1 kit; it always goes into the top hole of the 
paddle, regardless if the paddle is set for right or left handed use, 
and it threads into that hole so that the paddle is retained and doesn't 
move around.

The only other knurled screws I am aware of associated with the KX1 are 
those 2 black ones that hold the top and bottom together.

Mine is too.

I think so; every KX1 and every photo I have seen of one look this way 
to me.
