Securing Fuse in Inline Fuse Holder?

[mfmbcpman 10+ year member]

Ok, I'm fairly sure this is a stupid question but I cannot figure out how to secure my fuse into the fuse holder. This is the best picture I could find of it. There are two allen screws but I don't know how to screw them securely into the fuse?

usually the fuse has two ends that are hook shaped and "hook" under the screw head

thats a round fuse, the ends just push onto the fuse and you screw the casing together, thats it, the allen screws are for the wire

to the op...all you have to do is push the fuse into the sides where the wire is attached...i have the same fuse holder if you need pics i can take some

Well, the allen screws are right over where the fuse goes. I had it just pushed in for weeks but now it is starting to jiggle around in there, to where the power to my amp cuts in and out sporadically and there are burn marks on one side of the fuse.

Hey thanks for the help. I prefaced saying it was a stupid question. You don't have to take it further.

I got it. The plastic piece on top in the very middle lifted up so that I could reach those screws.
