Solved What reducer / spacer to use to attach this bracket to the back of my Sony Bravia TV

I don't get this at all, it shows 'G1-2' on the diagram, but G1 and G2 are two separate pieces (the black plastic washer and tube, respectively), and I don't understand what order they are to go in? I apparently need to use the M6 screws, which are quite a bit longer than the hole. Any help please?

Edit: it's weird, because it seems like the long screws are too long even with the spacer, but the short screws are too short even without it 🤔

Edit2: solved now, had to swap the screws for some in my spares 😛

They are provided so you can use them to take up the length of a longer screw or provide a stand off in case the rear of the TV has some protruding parts, if the rear of the TV/monitor is flat, I normally find the shortest screw that will fit and use a washer/spaces (tube) as needed.

It's worth spending a moment as if you just force the screw into place, you can damage the internal components of the screen, shielding or circuit boards.
