It may not be possible to insert the screw (it is not long enough, too difficult to compress the silent block with the flange, etc.) in this case you can use a piece of 6mm diameter threaded rod, about ten cm long, 2 nuts and 2 washers to compress the silent block.

Once this is done, hold the flange with, for example, a "C" press in order to remove this threaded rod to put the original screw in place.
