D,
I found your diagram posted on the tank talk thread
Yeah, you thought that the nut was on the outside, but it goes on the outside. If you just swap the labels "overflow box" and "Acrylic Plate" the drawing will work.
One more important change. The nut must tighten down on a smooth hard surface that it can slide against, not on a rubber gasket (as shown n the drawing) which will cause it to stop turning, due to friction, before it gets very tight. The rubber gasket under the nut should be removed so that the nut can slide against the inside of the overflow box as it tightens.
