Yes my cups do spin in the plastic frame. So doing it the "correct way" with the hex in the end of the set screw does not work because if the cup spins, the nut doesn't tighten. The cup, nut and set screw will turn together this will tighten the set screw more which is the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.

Ideally the cups should be designed so they catch somewhere to prevent turning.

However, that said, anyone with half a brain can figure out how to prevent the cup from spinning to tighten the nut. I just pointed out that since everything is soft aluminum, clamping it with anything aggressive like pliers will gouge the aluminum.

Still a five star (*****) product at a great price.
