Slim - what do the two small screws do (at the bottom of M3 legs) - are they drain holes?

I know I'm a bit behind the time with this one, but you have to loosen the crown to stanchion bolts first. The stanchions squash slightly making the thread tight. Loosen these, then it should be hand tight. . .
