When tigbtening the bracket bolts tigbten the t'stat bolts FIRST!!!! Then run something like a .005 feeler gauge between the head and the bracket to make sure there is no large gap. Might have to loossen the t'stat bolts to slightly reposition bracket or change shimming between t'stat and bracket.
BOTTOM LINE; hand fit the bracket so that it is not stressing neither itslef nor the t'stat. Use what ever kind of shims or other hand fitting provedures as needed.
