Default 50" light bar fix

Currently have a 50" light bar installed that I had to modify to have it stay on my bracket, I reversed threaded bolts but the bolts are currently loose on the light. Is there any solution to this?

So your threads are stripped? You can stick a small zip tie in to the hole and then screw the bolt back in. Then just cut the excess zip tie hanging out. I had to do this on mine because I stripped one side. Works like a charm.

Do you have any photos of what you're saying?

Also I've tried JB weld and even gorilla glue but it all just broke loose and the light just moved around
