Quoted from Junglist:

I'm thinking if I can get the threads fixed and then try again and just screw each screw alternating like a car tire I can maybe get it to work.

This is how the bushing should be screwed in initially, and pretty much how any part that has multiple screw holes should be attached.
tap the holes, maybe ream or enlarge the bushing hole(s) just enough to get that bushing in there.
I bet it'll be just fine.

When I run into this, I find just the right size washer, and put it on the top side of the pf on the flipper shaft.
By just the right size, I mean barely enough to go around the flipper shaft, and not enough to hit the plastic bat.
Never had it mess with flipper strength.
