problem with indiglos

Yesterday I installed my indiglos from procarparts. I have a 98, so I atached them with my existing screws. After a couple of hours, I developed something that sort of looks like an air buble around both screw holes in my speedo. This morning, the same thing happened to my tach, and the speedo got bigger. Does anyone know what it is?

securing is not the problem, it's the air bubbles.

I don't know, maybee I tightened the scews too much, but now that I loosed them, the bubbles won't go away.

I was hoping someone already had this problem, but I guess I'm the first. So for everybody else, do not tighten you screws too much, or you WILL damage your gauges. I only payed $27 for mine, so I'll just keep them the way they are.
